Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 fresh oranges (zested and juiced)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Zest and juice 3-4 fresh oranges, making sure to remove any seeds. Set the juice aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is well-combined and smooth.
- Slowly mix in the freshly squeezed orange juice and zest. Stir until everything is fully incorporated.
