Orange creamsicles are a delightful combination of sweet, citrus flavor and childhood memories. In this 10-minute recipe, orange creamsicle meets Dalgona whipped cream for a yummy (and gorgeous) drink!

Whipped orange creamsicle in a clear glass.

When you hear orange creamsicle, most people will think of the sweet, tangy, orange and vanilla flavored cream popsicle. Creamsicle is actually a trademarked term for a popsicle with an ice cream core and fruity-flavored outer layer. ‘Popsicle’ is also a major trademarked brand.

Now, the flavor is used not just in cold recipes but in a ton of creative recipes like cookies, pies, smoothies and even cocktails. Combining the super popular flavor with the Dalgona whipped trend takes it to a completely new level. It’s like a grown-up version of your favorite childhood treat!

🧾Ingredients in this recipe

AN orange, milk, orange flavor, egg whites, and sugar on a countertop.
  • You can use any kind of milk in this recipe, dairy or non-dairy both work just fine. I like to use coconut milk, though I encourage you to experiment with different types of regular and non-dairy milk (like nut milk or oat milk) to make it perfect for you.
  • Depending on the recipe, the ‘cream’ in creamsicles can come from milk, milk substitutes, cream, or yogurt. For this recipe, both the coconut milk and the whipped orange cream add that creamy element.

👩‍🍳How to Make This Recipe

Whipped egg whites in a glass bowl.

  • Add the sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. See photo 1 below. Make sure the egg white/aquafaba is stiff before adding the sugar, especially if using a heavy sugar like coconut sugar. After adding the sugar, the creamsicle whip is ready when it sticks to your whisk.

⭐️ Using aquafaba? ⭐️

Add 1/4 tsp cream of tartar to help get you firmer peaks in your mixture. It works great with and without, but if you prefer stiffer peaks, add the cream of tartar.

  • Add in the orange extract or flavor and whip again to mix and make sure the peaks are stiff. Make sure not to add the orange extract until this point, or the egg whites will not properly whip. The powder will weigh the mixture down too much to froth properly.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg white or 2 tbsp aquafaba* (aka chickpea liquid)
  • 1 tbsp sugar granulated white, turbinado, or cane
  • 1/2 tsp orange extract or flavor
  • 1/2 cup milk I used coconut milk, but any kind works
  • 1/4 cup orange juice if using fresh oranges, add a pinch of zest, too

Instructions

  • Whip the egg white (or aquafaba) until it is frothy and mostly stiff with a whisk, hand mixer, or handheld frother. Add the sugar and whip until stiff peaks form and it sticks to your whisk. Add in the extract and whip again to mix and make sure the peaks are stiff.
  • Mix the milk and orange juice in a glass with the zest if you are using a fresh orange.
  • Top with the whipped orange floof and enjoy!

Notes

Do not add the orange extract until instructed or the egg whites will not properly whip. The powder will weigh the mixture down too much to froth properly.
Sugar: this recipe works best with fine, granulated sugar. But it also works with many other sugars. Make sure the egg white/aquafaba is stiff before adding the sugar, especially if using a heavy sugar like coconut sugar.
Aquafaba is the liquid left when you strain chickpeas from a can. 
Eating any part of an egg raw can present a health and safety problem, as raw eggs do carry bacteria. If you’d rather not take the risk, buying eggs that have been pasteurized (look out for that on the label) or liquid egg whites in a carton, as these are always pasteurized, is a good compromise.
*When using aquafaba, adding 1/4 tsp cream of tartar will get you firmer peaks in your mixture. It works great with and without, but if you prefer stiffer peaks, add the cream of tartar.

  1. I haven’t tried it yet, but you could totally make this in a cocktail shaker the same way you’d make a fizz. Just no soda at the end. I wonder how a citrusy gin or white rum would do in this. I’ll report back once I find out.

    This tastes of summer! I love anything and everything that involves coconut milk. This dairy free option is great for my sister in law who eats plant based. I’ll be making this for her birthday this weekend!
