• Ready In: 50 mins
• Yields: 1 1/2 litres

Ingredients

• 1  cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups  freshly squeezed  orange juice (the gelato will only be as good as the orange juice you use!)
• 2  cups water
• 1  tablespoon lemon juice
• 2  tablespoons Grand Marnier or 2  tablespoons Cointreau liqueur
• 2  egg whites
• 1⁄4 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

1. Place confectioners’ sugar, orange juice, water and lemon juice in a large pan; stir over medium heat 4-5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved; bring to boil; reduce heat; simmer gently for 15 minutes; remove from heat; pour into a large bowl; allow to cool; stir in liqueur.
2. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually beat in the extra icing sugar until thick and glossy; using a metal spoon, gently fold egg whites into orange mixture; pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for about 30 minutes or freeze until just solid.
