Melon-Orange Blossom Gelato
- 1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsps orange blossom water
- 1/2 tsp orange zest
- 1 medium melon (approx. 1 1/4 lbs), seeded and cut into small cubes
- 1 squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Place cream and milk in a saucepan. Add salt, sugar, honey, orange blossom water, and orange zest. Bring mixture up to a boil. Once it starts boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let steep for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place cut melon and a squeeze of lemon juice in a blender, and blend on high for a few minutes until completely pureed. Strain cream mixture into a container, add melon puree, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or even overnight. You want the mixture to be the same temperature as the refrigerator or under 40u0b0 F.
- Process ice cream in an ice cream maker per instructions.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, place chilled mixture in a baking dish and place in the freezer. After 40 minutes, take it out and stir it up with a whisk, or (best) a hand-mixture to incorporate air and until a uniform texture. Place back in the freezer and repeat this every 30 minutes. After about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, the ice cream should be good to go.
