Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these creamy, citrusy delights (exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

Fresh Orange Juice: You can’t beat the taste of freshly squeezed orange juice! It’s tangy, refreshing, and has a burst of natural sweetness.
Powdered Milk: This ingredient gives the dessert its rich, creamy texture. I recommend using a quality powdered milk brand such as Morning Moo for the best results.
Vanilla Extract: Adds a touch of warmth and depth to the flavor of the orange cream.
Sugar: A little sweetness to balance the acidity of the orange juice.
Ice: To give the dessert its icy, frozen consistency.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Making Orange Cream Delights couldn’t be simpler. Follow these easy steps for a delicious treat that’ll have everyone asking for the recipe!

1. Prepare the Ingredients

Start by measuring out the ingredients. Freshly squeeze about 2 3/4 cups of orange juice. You can use store-bought juice in a pinch, but fresh juice gives the best taste and vibrant color. Measure out 6 tablespoons of powdered milk and 1/3 cup of sugar. Get 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract ready. And finally, have 2 cups of ice cubes prepared.

2. Blend the Mixture

In a blender or food processor, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, powdered milk, vanilla extract, and sugar. Add the ice cubes last. This will help prevent the ice from clumping together as the mixture blends. Blend the ingredients until everything is smooth and well-combined, and the ice is fully crushed.

You should have a creamy, thick mixture that has a beautiful orange hue and a velvety texture.

3. Freeze the Orange Cream Delights

Once the mixture is blended, it’s time to freeze! Pour the creamy orange mixture into an ice cube tray or silicone molds of your choice. You can even use small cups or muffin tins to shape the delights into fun, bite-sized portions.

If you want to get creative, you could freeze the mixture into individual popsicle molds for a cool, handheld treat.

4. Freeze for 3-4 Hours

Place the tray or molds in the freezer and let them freeze for about 3-4 hours, or until the mixture is firm and solid. If you’re in a hurry, you can speed up the freezing time by spreading the mixture out in a thinner layer.

5. Serve and Enjoy!

Once your Orange Cream Delights are fully frozen, it’s time to enjoy! Pop them out of the molds and serve immediately. You can serve them as they are, or top them with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of orange zest for an extra burst of flavor.

Variations for Orange Cream Delights

While this recipe is absolutely delicious as is, there are a few ways you can mix it up and add your own personal touch:

Add a Splash of Alcohol: For an adult twist, you could add a splash of orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau) to the mixture for an added layer of flavor.
Use Lime Juice: For a different citrusy flavor, try swapping out half of the orange juice for freshly squeezed lime juice.
Make it Tropical: Add in some pineapple juice or coconut milk for a tropical version of this treat.
Add Fresh Orange Zest: If you love orange flavor, zest one orange and add it to the mixture for an extra boost of citrusy goodness.
Sweeten it Differently: Instead of regular sugar, try honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup to sweeten the cream.

How to Serve Orange Cream Delights

These Orange Cream Delights are perfect as a standalone dessert, but they also pair beautifully with other dishes. Here are some ways to enjoy them:

On Their Own: Simply pop them out of the molds and enjoy a refreshing, creamy treat all by themselves.
As a Topping: Use Orange Cream Delights as a topping for cakes, cupcakes, or pies. They’d be especially delicious on top of a chocolate cake or a vanilla sponge cake.
In Smoothies: Drop a few pieces of the frozen orange cream into your blender and mix them into a smoothie for an extra creamy texture and citrus flavor.
In Parfaits: Layer pieces of Orange Cream Delights with granola, fruit, and whipped cream for a fun parfait dessert.
As a Popsicle: Serve the mixture in popsicle molds for a fun, portable frozen treat that’s perfect for a hot summer day.

Storing Orange Cream Delights

In the Freezer: Store leftover Orange Cream Delights in the freezer in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to 2 weeks. If you used molds, you can simply place the pieces in a freezer bag once they are fully frozen.
On the Counter: Since this recipe is a frozen treat, it’s best to serve it right away after being frozen. If left out too long at room temperature, they’ll start to melt and lose their shape.
