A delicious homemade Italian ice cream with orange cognac.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, mascarpone, egg yolks, cream, zest of 2 oranges, cognac, and the vanilla extract. Mix well.
Slice the oranges in half and juice using a cone juicer or scoop the flesh out leaving the peel intact. Pour the mascarpone cream into the orange peels to the edge and freeze for one or more hours.
