Preparation

Step 1

Orange Creamsicle Frozen Yogurt: Make the orange syrup Put the gelatin in a medium saucepan. Add the orange juice to the pot. When you pour it in, the gelatin may clump up a little. That’s just fine. Give it a brisk whisking. Let the orange juice and gelatin sit like this for about 5 minutes. After about 5 minutes, add the sugar to the pot. Then add the honey. (It’s just a little bit and it’s in there for flavor, not necessarily to add more sweetness.) Whisk to combine. Set the pot on the stove over high heat and bring it to a boil, whisking occasionally. Basically, you’re doing this to be sure the sugar is completely melted. Let the mixture boil for a minute or two. Then turn the heat off and remove the pot from the stove. Cool the mixture to room temperature, then stick it in the fridge to chill it completely. At this point, if you give the syrup a taste, it will be *very* sweet. That’s just fine. The flavors balance out when you add the yogurt later on. Orange Creamsicle Frozen Yogurt: Add the yogurt, process&freeze. When your orange syrup is totally cold, take it out of the fridge. Add the yogurt to it. Whisk to combine. Whisk in the Triple Sec. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Process according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For my Cuisinart model, this means freezing it in the machine for about 25-30 minutes. When you’re done, your frozen yogurt will still be fairly slushy in consistency. Transfer your frozen yogurt to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the surface down so it’s relatively flat. Press a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface. Then wrap the container tightly again. Pop the container into the freezer. Freeze overnight to firm the frozen yogurt up completely. Orange Creamsicle Frozen Yogurt: Serve&enjoy! After your frozen yogurt has been in the freezer for a while, it should be nice and solid. But not so solid that it’s impossible to scoop. Scoop into big bowls and enjoy!
