Orange and vanilla ice cream popsicle


Creamsicle is the inspiration for this idea of mixing high quality vanilla ice cream and quality orange juice. 

It is a strange combination better suited for poorer versions of both ice cream and orange juice flavor. It is one of those things that the higher you go the worse it becomes because the elements are not compromised. It is the compromise between the two elements in the original that makes the Creamsicle great and this is unapologetic orange juice and boldly assertive vanilla. Look at the cluster of black vanilla bean seeds proclaiming the presence of noble character. This is not the best treatment for these things, the vanilla or the orange juice, and I should be smacked for dressing them down this way. Having said all that, I ate three of them immediately and I have no intention of sharing the rest, although I will if you beg me.

I put chunks of ice cream into the molds and let orange juice fill the space around them. I found it helpful to use a chopstick to poke holes for the orange juice to fill and form structurally supportive orange ice posts within the patches of ice cream once it was inside the molds. 

Creamsicle = cream and orange flavor coating
Dreamsicle = milk and orange flavor coating
Paleta = Mexican popsicle usually milk and some outrageous imaginative fresh tropical flavor. This is a paleta, but one made of frozen vanilla cream and fresh orange juice combined but not blended.
