Creamsicle Milkshake

Whether you call this flavor a creamsicle, an orange dream or an orange dreamsicle, it’s certainly one thing; delicious! We used freshly-squeezed orange juice for a bright and tangy flavor that blends synchronously with the extra-creamy vanilla ice cream. Better yet, you can easily scale up the ingredients for this milkshake and serve a crowd. Pour yourself a glass and sip away those summertime blues. 

Ingredients:

1 orange

1 cup vanilla ice cream

1 cup ice

Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions:

Before you get started making your milkshakes, you can whip up some whipped cream if you’re making it from scratch. For a single serving, I’ll usually use 2 to 3 tablespoons of heavy cream.

Whip your heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set it aside in the refrigerator while you work on your milkshakes. 

Before you juice your orange, zest about 1 teaspoon of orange zest into your blender. 

Juice your orange, making sure to remove any seeds as they fall out. Add the juice to your blender. 

Scoop 1 cup of ice cream into your blender, along with 1 cup of ice. 

Blend everything until it’s smooth and creamy.

Pour it into your desired cup and top it off with whipped cream.
