Tutti Frutti Ice Cream is refreshingly, citrusy ice cream made from fresh squeezed orange and lemon juice with banana and candied lemon/orange peels.
Who can say no to homemade ice cream in the summer time? Today I have a refreshing tutti frutti ice cream recipe for you that is flavored with fresh squeezed oranges and lemon, and full of chunks of fruity pieces.
What flavor is tutti frutti ice cream?
The name tutti frutti comes from the Italian phrase ‘tutti i frutti’ which means “all fruits”. It’s a delicious combination of fresh fruity flavors, often with candied fruit pieces.
Tutti Frutti flavored ice cream became popular from Leopold’s ice cream shop in Savannah Georgia. Their version is a rum flavored ice cream full of candied fruit and roasted pecans.
My version has a fresh citrusy ice cream that is full of banana pieces, pineapple, and candied fruit. I used a candied fruit mix from the store, but you could make your own, such as candied lemon and orange peels, or use maraschino cherries, dried fruit, etc.
Ingredients Needed:
- heavy cream
- whole milk
- fresh orange juice
- fresh lemon juice
- vanilla extract
- almond extract
How to make Tutti Frutti Ice Cream?
How to store homemade ice cream?
You can keep any leftover tutti frutti ice cream in a 2 qt freezer safe container. I often use a 9×5 bread pan covered with plastic wrap, then tightly with foil. But you can also buy ice cream containers that work perfect for this too.
Tips and Tricks:
- Add in some chopped pecans or walnuts for a nice crunch. You can add the nuts in raw, or roasted.
- Instead of candied fruit, use your choice of fresh fruit. Dice the fresh fruit up into small pieces, and toss together with about 1 TBS of granulated sugar. Add in the fresh fruit near the end of the churning time. (Some good fruit options are cherries, strawberries, peaches, pineapple, banana, etc.)
