What do I need?
- 395 g can sweetened condensed milk
- 120 mL freshly squeezed blood orange juice
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 60 g cream cheese

How do I make it?
- Mix condensed milk, blood orange juice, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until combined.
- Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and orange zest on medium speed until smooth, then reduce speed to low and slowly pour in cream. When all cream is added, increase speed to medium-high and whisk to stiff peak stage.
- Gradually add the whipped cream to the condensed milk mix and fold through until all combined. If using food colouring, add and mix to combine. Spoon mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover and freeze until firm, about 5 hours.
