Something magical happens when you spoon orange curd over vanilla ice cream. And by magical, we mean it tastes just like a Creamsicle.

Ingredients

4 Servings

3

large eggs, room temperature

½

cup sugar

1

teaspoon vanilla extract

1

tablespoon finely grated blood orange zest

½

cup fresh blood orange juice

½

cup fresh lemon juice

¼

teaspoon kosher salt

½

cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Vanilla ice cream, softly whipped cream, olive oil, and flaky sea salt (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl until pale and thick, about 4 minutes. Bring blood orange zest and juice, lemon juice, and salt to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisking constantly, gradually add half of juice mixture to egg mixture, then whisk egg mixture into remaining juice mixture in saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until bubbles subside and mixture is thick enough to coat spoon, about 3 minutes.

    Step 2

    Off heat, whisk in butter a few pieces at a time, incorporating completely before adding more. Transfer curd to a medium bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Chill until cold, at least 3 hours.

    Step 3

    To serve, spoon ice cream into bowls and top with curd and whipped cream. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt.

    Step 4

    Do Ahead: Curd can be made 5 days ahead. Keep chilled.
