Chocolate Orange Ice Cream for 5 Ingredients or Less
In the spirit of summer coming, I wanted to make an ice cream dessert that is simple and gluten free. I love the combination of dark chocolate and orange, so I used these as my key flavors for this challenge. (In general, I love anything that’s chocolate orange flavored.)
5 ingredient recipe are amazing to follow, but area really difficult to devise. It takes some creativity to come up with a balanced, delicious 5 ingredient recipe, so I’m excited to see what everyone has created!
