Orange Cream Popsicles
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups tangerine juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- An ice water bath
- An ice cream machine
- 10 small clear decorative glasses, for serving
- Sorbet: Place a bowl or 2 sheet pans in the freezer to chill.
- Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Whisk the juices together in another bowl.
- Let cool slightly, then whisk half the syrup into the juices and taste.
- Slowly add more syrup, tasting frequently.
- The mixture should taste definitely tart and sweet; you might not use all the syrup.
- Freeze in an ice cream machine, then transfer to the frozen bowl and keep frozen.
- Ice Cream: Combine the milk with 1/3 cup of the sugar in a saucepan and heat just to a boil.
- Immediately remove from the heat.
- Whisk the egg yolks with the remaining 1/3 cup sugar until well combined.
- Whisk a few tablespoons of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, then pour back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- At 160 degrees F, the mixture will give off a puff of steam.
- When the mixture reaches 180 degrees F it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog.
- Test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture.
- Run your finger down the back of the spoon.
- If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough yet.
- When it is ready, quickly remove it from the heat.
- Strain the mixture into a bowl and place it in the ice bath to cool.
- Let cool, stirring often.
- When cold, whisk in the sour cream and freeze in an ice cream machine.
- When frozen, use a small ice cream scoop to make walnut-sized balls and freeze solid again.
- To assemble, let the sorbet soften slightly.
- With a larger ice cream scoop, dig out flat globs of sorbet and pack it around the ice cream balls, covering completely.
- Freeze for 30 minutes.
