Orange Ice Cream (Quick and Easy Blender Recipe!)

Orange ice cream has never been so quick and easy to make! Put all the ingredients in a blender, then freeze! Seriously, who wouldn’t love this orange ice cream recipe?

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. 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!

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.

As always, my printable recipe is at the bottom with the purple header and you can leave a review and star rating just above the PRINT button. Thank you!

Orange Ice Cream
(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!
