Orange Julius Ice Cream

1. 1

   Cut oranges in half and juice them with a juicer. Remove the remainder of the pith and pulp from all the orange halves. Shave a bit off the bottom of the orange cups so that they will stand upright. Rinse with water and place on a tray into the freezer. My juice yield was 1 1/2 cups. Add the vanilla sugar to the juice and mix well.

2. 2

   Heat milk and half the baker's sugar in a large saucepan to boiling. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and remainder of baker's sugar together until mixed thoroughly.

3. 3

   When milk comes to a boil, remove from heat. Temper eggs by slowly adding 1/2 cup of milk, whisking constantly. Repeat until all milk mixture has been transferred into the mixing bowl.

4. 4

   Return the lot to the saucepan and heat, stirring gently over low heat for about 5 minutes or until mixture has thickened, coating the back of the spatula.

5. 5

   Transfer back to the mixing bowl, whisking out any lumps. Add orange juice, whisking constantly. Cool slightly, cover, and place in the fridge for a few hours to cool off for the ride in the ice cream maker. My yield was 7 cups.

6. 6

   After your ice cream maker earns its keep, spoon the finished product into the orange cups and place back into the freezer to firm up. There will be about 2 cups of ice cream left over for everyone to share right away.

7. 7

   Once frozen solid, you can wrap the orange cups in plastic wrap to store in the freezer.
