Very good. Our very first impressions were that it tasted like a creamsicle, but much fresher. I had no trouble blending this in my Ninja drink blender. It was not too salty at all, be sure to use kosher salt and not table salt if this is an issue for you. This recipe was ready in 20 minutes in our Cuisinart and I loved the little flecks of orange zest in the finished product. I also loved that it had no artificial colors added like the store brands.

Delicious!
I have made this twice now. First time as Alton Brown suggests and the 2nd with mangos, as my grocery store had them on sale. Needed to tweak the sweetening a bit for the mangos, but both were great. I'm going to experiment with other fruits now - easy recipe.

I made this today for my friend who is going through chemo treatments for breast cancer. She looks forward to my home-made frozen sorbets and such to get her through the first few days after treatment. This recipe tastes like an orange "creamsicle" that we enjoyed in our childhood. She was ecstatic when she tasted it. I used a premium vanilla extract and wow, this turned out delicious. I followed the recipe to the letter and will be making this again very soon. By the way, I used my KitchenAid standard mixer ice cream attachment to make this. This recipe reached soft serve stage in 15 minutes of processing. I put the milk and the orange mixture in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to pouring it into the ice cream bowl attachment. Delish!
