Ingredients
- Heavy cream
- 2 cups
- Whole milk
- 1 cup
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons
- Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Orange segments
- 1 cup, peeled and sectioned
- Gingerbread cookies
- 1 cup, crushed
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, orange zest, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
- When the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, gently fold in the crushed gingerbread cookies and orange segments. Churn for an additional minute just to incorporate.
- Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
- Serve the orange and gingerbread ice cream in bowls or cones, garnished with additional orange zest or cookie crumbles if desired. Enjoy this delightful treat!
Tips
- For an extra citrus punch, consider adding a splash of orange liqueur to the mixture before churning.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the mixture before churning for a creamier result.
- This ice cream pairs wonderfully with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of candied ginger on top.
