Orange Cream Freezer Dessert

This is a must try for anyone who likes orange creamsicles!!  Yep, its that good.  For the first time in any of my recipes, I altered it right away and that's probably not fair.  Well, I didn't really alter it, but I cut the recipe in half.  I didn't think the kids and I needed two cookie sheets worth of a dessert just for us.  Then again... I probably could have eaten it.

When reading the recipe I was a little confused on one thing and that was how much ice cream to use.  It said 3-1/2 quarts of vanilla ice cream.  This might sound silly to some, but go with me on this because everyone writes things differently.  I wasn't sure if the author meant 3 half quarts or 3 AND a half quarts.  Hopefully I'm just not an idiot by getting confused, but it wouldn't be the first time.  I ended up using one container (1.75 qt) for the record and it fit into my one cookie sheet just fine.  I'm thinking by doing that though, maybe next time I will only use a third of the frozen orange juice.  I admit it was a little strong.  Again, I'm sure it would have been perfect if I would have stuck to the original measurements though.

Now the other judges (my kids) gave me surprising responses.  My daughter informs me that it would be good if it were any other flavor but that's only because she doesn't really care for orange anything.  I learned something new on that one.  My son tells me that the orange was a little too strong but he liked it anyway.  The 3 year old only had a couple of bites and then was done, but I'm pretty sure he liked it.  I'm thinking my daughter has a point though, I bet it really would be good with any flavor you prefer.  As for me, I'm sticking with the orange.

Super easy to make and it keeps for a really long time, so I definitely recommend you make this.  It would be especially great for parties or family a get together where a lot of people will be.
