❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Orange Cream Ice Cream
1. Can I use store bought orange juice instead of fresh?
Fresh orange juice is best because it has a brighter flavor and no added sugars. But you can use store bought in a pinch. Just make sure it is not from concentrate and has no extra sweeteners.
2. How do I keep the ice cream from getting icy?
This recipe uses sweetened condensed milk which helps keep it creamy. Also make sure you whip the cream to stiff peaks and do not overmix when folding. Covering it tightly with plastic wrap before freezing also helps prevent ice crystals.
3. Can I add food coloring to make it more orange?
You can add a drop of natural orange food coloring if you want a brighter color. But the orange zest already gives it a nice pale orange look.
4. How long does this ice cream last in the freezer?
It stays good for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. After that it might start to get a little icy.
5. Can I make this dairy free?
Yes you can use full fat coconut cream in place of the heavy cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk. The texture will be a bit different but still delicious.
