Orange Creamsicle Nice Cream

This light and creamy orange creamsicle nice cream uses coconut cream instead of milk or heavy cream to achieve its silky texture. The subtle coconut flavor blends well with the bright acidity from fresh orange juice.

  • Combine the frozen orange juice cubes, chilled coconut cream, honey, lime juice and vanilla in a food processor; pulse until smooth, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve. (If stored in freezer, let stand at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes to soften before serving.) Garnish each serving with an orange slice, if desired.

To make ahead

While the nice cream will have the best texture if served immediately, it can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow it to soften at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes before serving.
