🍊🍫ORANGE - CHOCOLATE Ice Cream, with xanthan gum

There is something about the combination of orange and chocolate that genuinely excites me. Perhaps it's because I grew up in Greece, and my mind is full of images of orange trees bursting with ripe fruit, inviting me to a zesty paradise. Of course, the best way to enjoy oranges is by peeling them and eating them in chunks with their juices running all over. The next best way is to mix their zestiness with chocolate, like in this orange and chocolate ice cream.
This ice cream is a tribute to the harmonious blend of zesty and earthy flavours-orange and chocolate. I've omitted egg yolks in a departure from traditional ice cream recipes. While they add richness, they can also overpower delicate flavours. Instead, I've used xanthan gum, a fantastic ingredient that thickens the ice cream and ensures a perfect mouthfeel.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And if you have never used xanthan gum in ice cream making, we have many ice cream recipes to use it in if you decide to buy it, check the link below. Happy churning!

-------------------------------------------------
Ingredients:
⚖ batch for 1.5 - 2- litre ice cream maker capacity
• 4 medium-size oranges [00:13]
• 415 g heavy cream 35-40% fat (14.6 oz; 415 ml) [00:36]
• 195 g sugar (6.9 oz; 15 tablespoons*) [00:40]
• 560 g whole milk, FRIDGE-COLD (19.7 oz; 560 ml),
divided:
- 280 g cold milk to be added on [00:43]
- 280 g cold milk to be added on [02:32]
• ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (1.5 g) [01:29]
• 125 g MELTED chocolate/couverture 70-74% cocoa solids (4.4 oz) - for other cocoa solids % read [note 1] below. [01:47]
* 1 tablespoon = 15 ml
[Note 1]: to use chocolate with different cocoa solids %, we must adjust the quantities of both the chocolate and sugar, or else the ice cream may be too melty or too icy. Please leave a comment below with the percentage of cocoa solids in your chocolate, and we will provide you with the necessary adjustments.
[Note 2]: the ice cream will be as good as the chocolate you use, so use one that you like.
[Note 3]: prefer local & organic oranges, fresh and fragrant. To test the oranges, scratch the skin; a nice orange fragrant means that the ice cream will be flavourful. Imported oranges are usually coated with wax, and a shiny surface is an indication of that. This wax should be removed before grating; to do so, rub the orange under warm running water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
[Note 4]: for best results, use a kitchen scale

[03:44] Step 3 | Churn the ice cream
[04:54] Step 4 | Put in the freezer to set
[05:36] Serve or store
--------------------------------------------------
This is your checklist, make sure you go through it before beginning:
✅ do not play around with the ingredients and quantities; everything is there for a reason. Using less of this or replacing this with that, may result in too icy or too melty ice cream.
✅ the ice cream mixture needs to be fridge-cold when you churn it and the xanthan gum needs time to develop, so make sure you go through the refrigeration process. It needs at least 8 hours in the refrigerator, but it keeps there well for up to 3 days before churning it.
✅ churn more time than your ice cream machine's instructions recommend. A general rule is:
- 40 minutes for the "fast" ice cream machines, which recommend 30 minutes,
- and 70 minutes for the ones that recommend 60 minutes of churning.
✅ (for ice cream makers that have a removable freezer bowl that needs pre-freezing before churning): make sure that you remove the ice cream from the ice cream maker bowl [step 4] as soon as it sets. If you leave it for longer, the ice cream will harden, and then you need long hours in the refrigerator to bring it back to a soft consistency that you can scoop.
✅ this ice cream, like all artisanal ice creams, freezes hard in the long term. To bring it back to a scoopable consistency, put it in the refrigerator for 45-60 minutes.
