Why This Recipe Works

For this easy-to-make version of orange-flavored ice cream, we found that we didn't need any special appliances. In a run-of-the-mill kitchen blender, we whipped cream to aerate it before adding the rest of the ingredients, including sweetened condensed milk, which added not only sweetness but also body to the finished ice cream. A mix of both fresh orange and lemon zest and juice provided powerful citrus notes. Bypassing the churning step, we placed the mixture in the freezer for 6 hours before serving.
