How to cook deliciously - Classic Snacks Made from Scratch Creamsicles
1. Stage
Ice Cream: Bring cream to a bare simmer in a 1-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, just until it is steaming and small bubbles form around edges. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar and vanilla until sugar is fully dissolved.
2. Stage
Transfer to a clean bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled. When ice cream base is fully chilled, freeze it in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions. When it has completed its cycle ice cream will have consistency of soft-serve.
3. Stage
Assemble Popsicles: Completely fill 6 (3-ounce) Dixie cups with ice cream, insert Popsicle sticks, and freeze for 2 hours until fully hardened.
4. Stage
While vanilla layer chills, whisk orange juice, half and half, and powdered sugar together in a liquid measuring cup. Set 6 (5-ounce) Dixie cups on a small, freezer-safe plate or baking sheet and pour 1/4 cup of orange juice mixture into each cup.
5. Stage
Peel Dixie cups off frozen ice cream and insert pops into orange juice–filled Dixie cups, pushing down to displace juice and cover ice cream entirely. Add more juice to cover as necessary. You may have to weigh ice cream down with an additional baking sheet and bag of frozen peas to make sure vanilla layer stays submerged.
6. Stage
Freeze for 4 hours, until juice is fully hardened. Peel Dixie cups off before serving.
7. Stage
Store Popsicles in freezer in an airtight container for up to a month.
