Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp. kosher salt
- Orange food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup full-fat plain yogurt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp. kosher salt
Instructions
- In a blender, combine orange juice concentrate, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/8 tsp salt. Blend until smooth. Add orange food coloring if desired. Refrigerate the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/8 tsp salt. Refrigerate to chill.

- Replace sugar with honey, agave, or stevia for a low-sugar option.
- Try other juices like pineapple or mango for a flavor variation.
- Layering gives a beautiful two-tone appearance—great for presentation.
- Freeze overnight for best texture and flavor development.
