Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 small box (3 oz/85 g) Sugar-free orange gelatin dessert mix
  • 1 cup Boiling water
  • 1 cup Ice cubes
  • 1 cup Cold heavy whipping cream
Optional Flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Place the orange gelatin powder in a mixing bowl. Pour in the boiling water and whisk until every bit of gelatin has dissolved.
  2. Add the ice cubes and stir steadily as the gelatin mixture cools and begins to thicken. Remove any ice that has not melted before adding the cream.
  3. Pour in the cold heavy cream and add the vanilla extract if using. Stir briefly so the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Beat with an electric mixer or blend with an immersion blender for about 2 to 4 minutes, until the mixture is pale, thick, and airy. Stop when it has a whipped, spoonable consistency.
  5. Divide the mixture among four small dessert dishes or glasses. Smooth or swirl the tops, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour and preferably 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Use the small 3-ounce box of sugar-free gelatin; a standard large box contains twice as much mix and changes the liquid-to-gelatin ratio. For the lightest texture, chill the heavy cream, mixing bowl, and beaters beforehand. Vanilla gives the most pronounced creamsicle flavor, while a small amount of orange extract may be used sparingly because it is potent. Sweetener and carbohydrate totals vary by gelatin brand and the exact heavy cream used.
