These orange creamsicle cups are refreshing, creamy, and a little nostalgic. Made with fresh oranges and served in the orange peels for an extra fun treat. This is sure to be a hit with the adults and kids!
Ingredient Breakdown
- Oranges – Bring fresh citrus flavor and double as the serving cups. I like my creamsicles with the pulp from the oranges. However, if you don’t like any pulp, juice the orange flesh first.
- Heavy Cream – Makes the filling rich, creamy, and smooth once frozen.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk – Instead of using sugar as a sweetened, I opted for condensed milk. It adds sweetness and helps keep the texture soft and creamy.
- Vanilla Extract – Gives that classic creamsicle flavor and rounds out the orange.
Make Ahead
Orange creamsicle cups are the perfect make ahead treat. They need several hours of freezing time, so feel free to make them a day or two before you need them. Creamsicles will last for up to a month in the freezer.
Variations
Dairy Free. You can absolutely make these dairy free, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and dairy-free sweetened condensed milk. I usually to find dairy free condense milk at whole foods. There’s even dairy free heavy cream that you can use as well.
Pulp Free. Classic orange creamsicles don’t have any pulp in them like this version. So feel free to juice and strain the orange flesh once you remove it from the orange peels.
