Super creamy homemade orange ice cream is going to be a new summer favorite dessert. It is cold, refreshing and has the perfect combination of orange and vanilla with a cream cheese twist!
It’s ice cream season! This smooth, creamy homemade ice cream has all of the flavor of an orange creamsicle and a cheesecake all mashed up into one delicious bowl of citrusy goodness.
I just love the way the vanilla, orange and cream cheese come together.
There is nothing like cooling off with a bowl of homemade ice cream. There is just something extra special about knowing that you made it.
Plus there is the added benefit of being able to combine any flavors you like.
I thought it would be fun to turn our favorite orange creamsicle no bake cheesecake into an ice cream flavor.

I am so glad I went for it! I think the cream cheese really helps to give an extra creaminess to the base.
In addition to the bit of tang, it gives the ice cream a smooth texture that is creamy scoopable almost immediately from the freezer.
Of course there needs to be orange in a creamsicle ice cream. I wanted to make sure there was plenty of flavor, but didn’t want to add too much liquid.
I was worried orange juice itself would form too many ice crystals in the ice cream and I wanted a really smooth final texture.
Using frozen orange juice concentrate allowed me to add a ton of orange flavor without too much water. It really worked perfectly if I do say so myself!

Hi Carlee, now this is the sort of recipe I like for summer! I recently bought a new ice cream machine as my old one was straining at the motor, so it seems only fair I should give it a whirl. I've never used cream cheese in an ice cream recipe before, so thank you for giving me a nudge in that direction!… Now I have to find a replacement for the orange concentrate as that is something we don't get here!Will have to think about that one.

Isn't homemade ice cream the best? I hope you find a good substitute. I think strawberry puree would be good in place, though obviously a different flavor!
I'd start with the ice cream recipe you shared here and then try everyone I could find. I love homemade ice cream. It brings back great memories from my childhood.
There just is something special about homemade ice cream! <3
