Recently, I shared a super easy recipe for lemon ice cream that blew me away because it was so smooth, creamy, and tasty! If you’re looking for a lemon or orange ice cream recipe without an ice cream maker, this is it!
Lots of readers made the recipe, and gave great feedback on how much they enjoyed it, too. Then someone commented that her mother used to make orange ice cream this way, so I just had to try it.
I’ve since added blender peach ice cream to my site! It’s also a winner!
End result: I have to share this with you, too! It’s so easy and so delicious and bonus: this orange ice cream has no eggs! I’ve also made mango ice cream, which is also delicious!
If you’re an orange lover, there’s no question you will have to try this recipe. Hopefully you’ve already made some of my other orange treats like my cranberry orange bread pudding, Boodle’s orange fool or my very popular Sicilian whole orange cake.
If you don’t have a full size blender, you can make half the amount of this recipe in a smaller blender container. I made a batch in the 20 ounce container of my Vitamix (you’ll see the photo below in the recipe.)
Don’t throw away those rinds! Make candied orange peel.

(Quick and Easy Blender Recipe!)
recipe adapted from lemon ice cream Serves 8
FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE BELOW
Special equipment: metal pan, I used one like this
Blend the Ingredients
Pour the cream and milk into the blender container with the sugar. Then add the orange juice and zest and blend for about 30 seconds or until it’s well mixed. Be careful not to process too long or you’ll end up with orange butter! (Another reader did this with the lemon ice cream!)
Pour into a metal pan and place in the freezer for about an hour.
Remove from the freezer and stir with a spoon. Repeat this two more times (twice in two hours.)
You’ll see the mixture begin to take on the texture of ice cream. When it’s ready, scoop into glasses, cups, or cones to serve.
Decorate with a sprig of mint, orange leaf, wafer or some berries, if desired.
Ta dah! Orange ice cream is served!
Any way you dish it, you’ll be happy with the the results!

Oh, yum! So easy and I imagine fabulous. I won’t have to imagine for long, though — definitely going to make this. Still hot as the blazes in Tucson – need (NEED) ice cream!
I live in a section of Florida known for its citrus and can’t wait to try this recipe with fresh juice when they start picking oranges. I’ve pinned the recipe, thank you!
Lucky you! Enjoy, Karen!
Love it. Simple and delicious!
THanks, it is!
I love the idea of making ice cream in my blender. My mom loved orange flavored desserts — this makes me think of her as it would’ve been right up her alley. :-) So pretty served in the martini glass! ~Valentina
Aww, I’m so glad my recipe reminded you of your sweet mom! Thanks, Valentina.
Have uou used fresh orange juice?
Yes, I wouldn’t make it without have fresh oranges. Good luck!
This looks so easy. Love quick homemade ice creams.
I love how easy this recipe is. Do you think this recipe would work with fresh mango juice?
I don’t know if it would work, Cathy. I think it works with citrus as the juice helps the ice cream to set, just as it does in posset (without gelatin). I would try a half batch the first time, see how it goes!
