Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 2 cups orange sherbet, slightly softened

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

  • 1 cup fresh orange juice

  • 2/3 cup simple syrup

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions

  1. Combine sherbet and ice cream in a large ziplock plastic bag. Massage the bag to slightly mix the 2 colors. Make a 3/4-inch cut in the bottom corner of the bag. Squeeze about 3 tablespoons of sherbet mixture into each of 10 (3-oz) popsicle molds.

  2. Stir together orange juice, simple syrup, and cream in a liquid measuring cup. Pour juice mixture into popsicle molds allowing liquid to fill in any remaining air pockets of the ice cream. Insert popsicle sticks, and freeze for at least 8 hours.
