How to make Orange and Lemon Cream Frozen Dessert
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp honey
- 150 ml milk
- 500 ml orange juice
- 250 ml whipped cream
- 1 lemon juice
- 100 g sugar
Directions:
In a saucepan, heat the cream and milk together. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and honey until well combined. Once the milk and cream are boiling, stir in the sugar and honey mixture. Pour this back into the saucepan and heat for about 20 to 23 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent it from boiling. After heating, pour the mixture into a bowl and beat it for five minutes. Then, stir in the orange juice and lemon juice, and allow it to cool. Once it’s cold, stir it vigorously for another 10 minutes. Finally, pour the mixture into a sealable container and freeze it for about 35 hours.
