Method
 

Ice Cream Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, whole milk, sugar, orange juice, orange extract, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. If desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring for a vibrant hue and stir gently.
  3. Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes.
  4. Once it reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer to a freezer-safe container and press plastic wrap onto the surface. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours.
  5. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
