Bitter Orange Ice Cream

This is a Nigella Lawson recipe that I saw on her show last year and it looked good at the time but I never thought much more of it. I recently picked up her book Nigella Bites from the library and there it was again. It look so simple and so elegant and requires no special equipment. I am placing here for safe keeping. This is the original recipe as listed here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/nigella-lawson/bitter-orange-ice-cream-recipe/index.html

• Ready In: 3 hrs 10 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 3  seville oranges (or 1 eating orange and 2 limes)
• 1  cup confectioners' sugar
• 2  tablespoons confectioners' sugar
• 2 1⁄2 cups heavy cream

Directions

1. If using the seville oranges, grate the zest of two of the oranges. Squeeze the juice of all three oranges into a bowl with the zest and sugar.
2. If using the one orange and two limes, grate the zest of the orange and one lime, juice all and add the sugar as before.
3. Stir to dissolve the sugar and add the heavy cream.
4. Whip everything until it holds soft peaks, and then turn into a shallow airtight container (approx 2 quarts) with a lid. Cover and freeze until firm, about 3 to 5 hours.
5. Remove to ripen for 15-20 minutes at room temperature or 30-40 minutes in the refrigerator before eating.
