Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 oz (70 g) dark chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup (120 g) heavy cream
- ⅔ cup (170 g) candied orange peel, chopped
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (85 g) corn syrup
- 6 tbsps (35 g) Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Chill the ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s guidelines and retrieve a shallow, elongated container from the freezer.
- Churning: Process the ice cream base in the machine until it achieves a soft, creamy soft-serve texture.
- Layering Foundation: Transfer the first churned layer into the pre-chilled container, creating a smooth, even surface.
- Flavor Integration: Strategically distribute candied orange pieces across the initial layer, gently pressing them to meld with the cream.
- Sauce Embellishment: Artfully drizzle thin ribbons of fudge sauce over the orange-infused layer.
- Repetitive Composition: Continue layering ice cream, candied orange fragments, and fudge sauce until the container reaches its capacity, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing and flavor-rich composition.
- Finishing Touch: Embellish the final layer with an abundant sprinkle of candied orange pieces and an elegant fudge sauce swirl.
- Freezing and Storage: Securely place the container in the freezer, allowing complete solidification overnight. For prolonged preservation, cover the surface with parchment paper or seal with a tight-fitting lid, maintaining optimal quality for approximately one month.
Notes
- Chill Equipment Thoroughly: Ensure ice cream machine and storage container are deeply cold before starting to prevent ice crystallization and maintain smooth texture.
- Layer Strategically: Create beautiful, even layers by gently pressing candied orange pieces and drizzling fudge sauce between each ice cream layer for consistent flavor distribution.
- Protect Storage: Cover ice cream surface directly with parchment paper or use an airtight lid to prevent freezer burn and preserve delicate flavor profile.
- Maximize Freshness: Consume within one month for optimal taste and texture, leveraging the stabilizing effects of guar gum to maintain premium quality.
