I strongly believe there is no better flavor in the world, than orange creamsicle. We love the sweet combination of vanilla and orange. It’s a match made in Heaven.
I even like orange creamsicle ice cream bars, and I am not one for biting ice cream.
Orange cream is just my thing. It is also my very big weakness. Any diet I am on goes out the window if orange cream gets put in front of me. I think after you have one creamy bite of this fudge, you’ll be hooked too.
the story behind Orange Creamsicle fudge
Orange creamsicle is the taste of my childhood. Even to this day, when I taste something that is orange creamsicle flavored, it’s like I have a flashback to my childhood.
While growing up, we loved playing outside in the summer with our friends and neighbors. Then out of nowhere you would hear the sound of the ice cream man making his rounds through the neighborhood.
Nowadays, I find the ice cream truck to be terrifying, but back when life was more simple and less scary, the ice cream truck music, was the best sound.
I remember looking for it, and checking up and down my street to see if it was coming.
Every time it came, I would always order the same thing, the orange creamsicle bars. I don’t know what it is about the taste of the fake orange, and the creamy vanilla, but it tastes so good.
We loved buying those orange creamsicle ice cream bars.
To this day, I still dream about them. I have yet to find orange creamsicle bars that taste as good, so I decided I’d make my second favorite food, next to ice cream: fudge.
You will love this smooth and creamy Orange Creamsicle fudge.
And while you indulge on this fudge, a lot of childhood memories will come flooding back of those long carefree summer days enjoying that ice cream bar.
tips on how to make orange creamsicle fudge
- The recipe calls for heavy cream. This recipe will not work with milk, or other substitutes. For best results we recommend using heavy cream.
- Be sure to grease your 9 x 13 inch pan. If you don’t the fudge may stick to the pan, and the presentation won’t look as good. You could also use parchment or wax paper, and place it in the bottom of the pan.
- This fudge doesn’t set up as well, if it is not refrigerated. It works best when there is cold applied and surrounding it. It will definitely harden quicker.
