How to Make Chocolate Orange And Cinnamon Ice Cream

  1. Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the bittersweet chocolate, orange zest, and cinnamon. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt completely.
  3. Whisk together the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Gradually whisk in about 1 cup of the warm cream mixture to temper the yolks. Then pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan.
  4. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170°F on a candy thermometer). Do not boil.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in the orange liqueur (optional).
  6. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further after churning.
