Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 whole oranges, peeled
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 cups whole dairy milk
  • Ice for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel the oranges thoroughly, removing all the skin and pith to ensure a smooth, sweet flavor without bitterness.
  2. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the peeled oranges, granulated sugar, and whole milk into a blender container.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring the fruit is fully pureed.
  4. Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds, resulting in a silky texture.

  6. Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy, zesty flavors reminiscent of an orange creamsicle.

Notes

  • To enhance the creaminess, you can substitute whole milk with half-and-half or add a splash of cream.
  • Adjust the sugar according to taste or use a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie version.
  • Use fresh, ripe oranges for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • If you prefer a thicker texture, do not strain the mixture or blend in a few ice cubes for extra chill and consistency.
  • For a vegan option, substitute dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk.
