Heavenly Orange Cream Delight

Ingredients

- 4 large oranges (zest and juice)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oranges:
Begin by zesting the oranges until you have about 2 tablespoons of zest. Then, juice the oranges to yield approximately 1 cup of fresh orange juice. Set both the zest and juice aside.

2. Combine the Cream Base:
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Place over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

3. Infuse Flavors:
Add the orange zest to the cream mixture, stirring to incorporate. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, but do not let it boil. Simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the orange flavor.

4. Enhance with Extracts:
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the vanilla extract and orange extract. Stir well to combine.

5. Integrate Orange Juice:
Gently whisk the freshly squeezed orange juice into the cream mixture. Ensure the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended.

6. Chill the Mixture:
Pour the orange cream base into a large bowl or a shallow dish. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

7. Serve and Enjoy:
Once chilled, give the mixture a gentle stir before serving. Pour the Heavenly Orange Cream Delight into individual serving glasses or bowls. Garnish with a few strips of orange zest for an added touch of elegance.
