Creamsicle/Dole Whip

Orange Sherbet

Notes:

1. I haven't tried this with pineapple, but I believe you can just swap out the freshly squeezed OJ with juiced pineapple. Update: Have now tried with pineapple. Make the following changes: drop the vanilla. Replace orange and lemon with zest and juice of 1 lime.

2. Different oranges will really affect the flavor. I used naval oranges, which was nice but a tad too sweet for my taste; I would have preferred something sharper.

3. I like to drink orange juice with pulp. For this tho, I filtered mine through a sieve.


Ingredients:
1. 1 1/2 cups whole milk
2. 2 cups freshly squeezed OJ
3. 2/3rds cup sugar
4. juice of 1 lemon
5. zest from 1 orange and 1 lemon.
6. pinch kosher salt.
7. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Whisk together all ingredients except milk and mix until sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the milk slowly. Quickly add to your ice cream maker, because every second freshly squeezed orange juice sits out, it loses some of its magic. Process until thick and creamy, then freeze immediately.

Edit: Decided to try this out with lemon-lime. Two notes: 1. leave the vanilla out of the lemon-lime. It works for the mellower orange and all, but not for the sharper lemon-lime. 2. 2 cups of lemon and lime juice made a sherbet tart enough that it was like licking a 9 volt. I think next time I'll try 1 cup lemon and lime juice, and add an extra cup of milk to make up the volume. The flavor is excellent, but it is just too strong.

Sweet Cream Vanilla

Ingredients:
1. 3 eggs
2. 1 cup milk
3. 2 cups heavy cream
4. 3/4 cup sugar
5. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Whip the eggs until homogenous, then add the sugar. Whisk together until homogenous, then add the rest of the ingredients. Add to your ice cream maker, then process until done and freeze.


I'm too lazy, but if you have a popsicle maker, you can freeze the sweet cream on the stick first, then cover with the sherbet. I just scooped a scoop of each into a bowl and enjoyed that way.
