A Treat Anyone Can Make That Everyone Will Love

Chasing fireflies at dusk.  The smell of chlorine, sunshine and sunblock. Rushing to eat your popsicle before it melts.  Your childhood’s perfect summer day has been captured in this from-scratch, no churn required, Creamsicle Ice Cream.

The little citrus flecks create a flavor explosion in your mouth.

Creamsicle Cravings

I like to think of the Creamsicle Popsicle as the unicorn of frozen treats. Unlike a typical popsicle, the Creamsicle features an unexpected combination of orange ice and vanilla ice cream.  The ice cream is hidden in the center, ensconced by the orange ice and, if you’re super careful, you can eat the ice and ice cream separately.  Best of all, it magically blends citrus and cream for the ultimate flavor combination of a bright citrus rounded out by a rich cream.  It’s creamy yet refreshing, rich and yet light.  It shouldn’t be possible yet it is, and it’s perfect.

Creamsicles aren’t just for kids. Put yours in a fancy glass for a more sophisticated ice cream experience.

Homemade Ice Cream Without the Ice Cream Maker

The best part about our Creamsicle recipe is that it doesn’t require an ice cream maker to make it!  It’s as easy as whipping some cream, adding fresh citrus zest and juice, and freezing the combination overnight.  This is one recipe you truly do not need to know how to bake to make.  If you have a blender or a food processor and access to a freezer you can do this.

Avoid the brain freeze. Eat this Creamsicle with a spoon.
