Ingredients

1 can (12 oz) frozen orange juice concentrate, completely thawed
2½ cups whole milk
2 cups cold water
⅓ cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp orange zest (optional, for a stronger fresh-orange flavor)
Tiny pinch of salt (optional)

Timing & equipment

Equipment: Cuisinart 6 in 1 (ICE-200) and a whisk
Chill: until the entire mixture is refrigerator-cold
Setting: Slushy

Instructions

Dissolve the sugar. Stir the sugar into the water until dissolved.
Mix the base. Whisk in the thawed orange juice concentrate, whole milk, and vanilla. Add the optional orange zest and salt, if using.
Chill thoroughly. Refrigerate the whole mixture until refrigerator-cold before pouring it into the Cuisinart.
Make the slush. Run on the Slushy setting, not Ice Cream. Dispense and serve.

Notes & variations

Aim for a creamy, fluffy, icy, drinkable texture: Orange Julius crossed with a Creamsicle.
Keep the sugar, water, and orange-concentrate proportions as listed; do not substitute plain orange juice and milk for the prepared base.
Based on Cuisinart’s Slushy Julius recipe, with optional orange zest and salt.
