Homemade Orange Creamsicle Shake
I have such fond memories of the running after the ice cream truck and having orange creamsicles on hot summer days growing up in NC. A favorite now in my family, this orange cream milkshake recipe is the ultimate blend of sweet creaminess and tangy orange flavor that's both nostalgic and refreshing.
Whether you’re hosting a summer party or just craving something sweet, this recipe is quick and easy to whip up. No fancy equipment needed - just a blender and a few simple ingredients!
3 Simple Ingredients Needed
Below is a list of the ingredients you'll need to gather to make this recipe. Scroll all the way down for the full recipe card with amounts.
- Orange sherbet - Gives the milkshake its vibrant color and tangy flavor.
- Vanilla ice cream - Adds the perfect creaminess. I love using vanilla bean ice cream in mine. Regular or french vanilla are great too.
- Milk - I used regular milk to blend the ingredients together smoothly.
- Whipped Cream & Cherries, optional
Substitutions and Add-ins
1: Swap the orange sherbet with a cup of frozen orange juice concentrate. You could add ¼ cup of sugar if it’s not sweet enough.
2. Use any type of milk you prefer - Other than regular, you can use coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
3. Swap full-fat ice cream for lighter frozen yogurt or low-fat ice cream.
4.. For a health boost, add chia seeds, flax seeds, or a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
5. Use non-dairy ice cream and milk for a vegan-friendly option.
6. To make it more of an orange creamsicle smoothie, add a banana with half the ice cream and sherbet.
