My orange creamsicle ice cream is ultra creamy and features bright orange and sweet vanilla flavors. This easy no-churn ice cream will take you back to enjoying orange creamsicles as a kid.
In a large bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until thick.
Pour in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and orange oil.
Divide ice cream into 3 bowls. Leave one bowl white. Add 3 drops of food coloring to the second bowl, and 1 drop to the last bowl to make two different shades.
Spoon ice cream into a freezer-safe container, alternating colors to create swirled ice cream.
Freeze for at least 6 hours.

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
Orange Oil: I used the brand Lorann Oils. You can find it in craft stores or online. Make sure whatever oil you use is food-grade.
Sweetened Condensed Milk: Make sure to use sweetened condensed which has sugar added NOT evaporated milk. Look for it in the baking aisle near the cake mixes or chocolate chips.
Krystle's Tips and Tricks
Keep everything Cold: Keep your bowl, beaters, and all ingredients cold to help them to whip faster. I like to put my sweetened condensed milk in the fridge about 24 hours in advance.
Whip It Real Good: Make sure the cream is thoroughly whipped as this is what will give us light and airy ice cream. A whisk or a mixer will both work fine.
Prevent Iciness: Press a piece of plastic wrap onto the top of the ice cream before replacing the lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
