These 5 Ingredient vegan dairy-free Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream Cups are made with coconut milk, cashew butter, maple syrup and fresh oranges. These are so creamy and fruity and downright delicious. No need for an ice cream maker!

You know summer is here whenever I start breaking out the cold desserts. These Orange Creamsicles were a reader request from one of my lovely readers, Estee. She recently made my Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream Cups (make those STAT if you haven’t) and loved them so much, she immediately requested an orange creamsicle. Don’t have to ask me twice!

These are divine. Creamy, rich, smooth and oh-so-orangy. I used the same base as my chocolate ones with the coconut cream and a hefty dose of fresh orange juice, vanilla and cashew butter. Since fresh oranges are so wonderfully sweet naturally, only minimal syrup was required. The taste is perfectly sweet, nostalgic and the best treat for the hotter days.

I love this idea of ice cream cups because they are just a quick grab-n-go and require NO ice cream maker! I had completely forgotten about the chocolate ones until another reader also made them and raved about them about a week ago, which prompted me to share them again on social media. Thanks to that, we now have this new flavor to add. Oh, the possibilities!

To make these, you will need just 5 ingredients!

coconut cream

fresh orange juice

raw cashew butter

pure maple syrup or agave

vanilla extract

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN ORANGE CREAMSICLE ICE CREAM

First, make sure you have placed your cans of full-fat coconut milk in the fridge for at least 1 day, 2 or more preferred so it gets very thick. I strongly recommend the Thai Kitchen brand for best results in thickness of the cream. It completely separates from the water and firms up, which is exactly what you want, since we are only using the cream.

Just add all of the ingredients to a blender (except the zest). You’ll stir it in after blending.

Pour the mixture into the liners. Try not to drink it all first.

Top with extra orange zest if desired.

Freeze 1-2 hours until firm enough to eat.

Last step. EAT. Devour and enjoy!

This is the same method used in my Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream Cups I wrote 4 years ago, they are amazing to put it mildly, so try those too!
