Bitter Orange Ice Cream

By stancec44

Ingredients

• 3 Seville oranges (or 1 eating orange and 2 limes)
• 1 c. + 2 Tbsp. confectioner's sugar
• 2 1/2 c. heavy cream
• Wafers to serve (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

If using Seville oranges, grate the zest of 2 of them. Squeeze the juice of all 3 and pour into a bowl with the zest and the sugar. (If you're going for the sweet orange and the lime option, grate the zest of the orange and one of the limes, juice all of them and add to the sugar as above). Stir to dissolve the sugar and add the heavy cream.

Whip everything until it holds soft peaks, and then turn into a shallow airtight container (of approximately 2 quarts) with a lid. Cover and freeze until firm (3-5 hours). Remove to ripen for 15-20 minutes (or 30-40 in the fridge) before eating (yeah, right). Serve in a bowl with wafers if you want to, or put between the wafers and make little ice cream sandwiches. Or crumbles the wafers and use as a topping. Or eat the ice cream out of the container. What the heck.
