Blood Orange Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Put the Champagne or sparkling wine in a small pan and simmer until reduced by a third. Add the caster sugar and stir until dissolved, then leave to cool. (It's worth making a much larger quantity of this syrup and storing it in the fridge to make other drinks.)
• Pour the vermouth, Campari, Champagne syrup, and soda water into a small shaker and shake for 10-15 seconds. Scoop the sorbet into a chilled float glass. Pour the liquid ingredients on top and garnish with the slice of orange.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine milk and orange zest. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and remove pan from heat. Let steep 30 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, cook orange juice over medium-low heat until reduced by three-fourths, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and let orange syrup cool completely.
• Combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream at medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes. Return milk to a simmer.
• Add half of warm milk to egg-yolk mixture; whisk until blended. Return new mixture to saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat back of a wooden spoon.
• Have ready an ice-water bath. Remove saucepan from heat; immediately stir in cream. Pass mixture through a sieve set over a medium bowl. Place bowl in ice-water bath; chill. Stir in orange syrup.
• Freeze in ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• Finely grate 2 tablespoons zest from oranges, then halve oranges and squeeze enough juice to measure 1/2 cup. Discard oranges.
• Bring milk, 1/4 cup sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon zest to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, then remove from heat and let steep 30 minutes.
• Beat together yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 1 minute. Add milk mixture in a stream, whisking constantly until combined well. Pour mixture into same saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture coats back of spoon and registers 175°F on thermometer (do not let boil). Immediately remove from heat and pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl. Set bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and stir until cold, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir in orange juice and remaining tablespoon zest and freeze in ice cream maker. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• 1. Juice oranges so the volume reaches 1 ¼ cups of liquid; set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, milk, sugar and salt. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
• 2. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks until light and pale. Temper the eggs by pouring very slowly about ¼ cup of hot milk mixture, whisk continuously. Pour egg mixture into the saucepan and whisk until very well blended. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously and making sure the mixture DOESN'T boil.
• 3. Remove from heat and let it cool at room temperature. About 30 minutes, add orange juice add Cointreau if using. Stir, transfer to a large measuring cup and let it sit for another 15 minutes before covering with plastic wrap and transferring to the refrigerator overnight.
• 4. Transfer to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturers' directions, about 20 minutes. Spoon ice cream into container and transfer to the freezer for at least 4 hours.
