Orange Vanilla Custard Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
• 4 tsp. grated orange zest

Preparation:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1/2 cup milk until smooth. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and salt. Stir in the cornstarch-milk mixture and 1 cup of the remaining milk. Mix until smooth.
2. Place the saucepan over low heat and simmer, stirring, for 7–8 minutes (do not boil), until the custard thickens and coats a spoon. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and place the bowl in a larger bowl of ice water. Add the cream and stir until the custard cools. Remove the bowl from the ice bath, stir in the vanilla, orange juice concentrate, and orange zest. Cover and refrigerate.
3. Freeze the cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe it into a glass.
