Sunday Sweet – Chocolate Orange Ice Cream

This recipe is a variation on the one-ingredient ice cream made with bananas. I use grated orange zest for that little bit of extra flavor. This summer we had a bunch of oranges and before we used them, I grated the orange peel (the zest) and froze it. Frozen zest has a much stronger tang than fresh, so I suggest using it sparingly.

Do Ahead
