I have been on a quest.
I’ve googled, I’ve pinned, I’ve ebay’d all to no avail.
Then one day. One day the clouds lifted and there they were.
The perfect Ice Cream Mold!
I wanted my ice creams to look like the store bought kind. All these gadgets for non-drip, sippy cup type molds just weren’t working for me. We’ve been going a little crazy making ice cream in our Vitamix but I knew that come the warmer weather, my 4 year old son’s cries for ice cream on a stick would be loud and insistent!
I’ve seen so many recipes around the place for Orange Julius – a milky, orangey concoction and I always thought it sounded a curdling gag-fest! But I was curious. People RAVED about the combo. OK. I’ll give it a go!
Me to my son: “Which do you like better? The shop ice cream, or these ones we made?”
Master 4: “These ones!”
Case closed.
Ingredients:
(makes 10 ice creams)
1.5 large oranges – juiced. (approx 1 cup juice)
1 x 270ml tin coconut milk
1/2 fresh vanilla pod – cut down the middle and seeds scraped (Keep the pod! Pop it in a jar of caster sugar to flavour!)
Zest of one orange – finely grated.
Method:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk well.
Pour into ice cream molds and freeze for at least 3 hours.
To store:
I remove each ice cream (so I can make more!) and wrap them in a little baking paper, followed by some plastic wrap. Store in the freezer (forgive me stating the obvious!)
Going to try this – sounds great! Where did you find the mould though? I agree that it looks perfect! I can’t stand those other ones either but have never seen anything quite like this!
Hi Jill,
The moulds are from Wheel & Barrow Homewares
Thanks Karen, they sound delicious. Where did you get the ice cream molds from?
Hi Tracy,

Did you get them online from Wheel and Barrow? If so what section- I can’t seem to find them 🙁
