Want a fun ice cream dessert that will take you back to your childhood? This delicious Orange Crush milkshake will have you reminiscing about the good 'ol days!

One of the best things about having kids is introducing them to things that I loved when I was just a kid myself.  I’ve gotten them hooked on my music, my favorite childhood TV shows and now, I’m introducing them to my yummy orange creamsicle milkshake!

We already love ice cream treats and this milkshake is SO good, mostly because it combines two of my favorite things, Orange Crush and creamsicles! My girls agreed, especially little Keira who’s never met a sweet treat she didn’t like! This was actually her first ever milkshake but I’m pretty sure it won’t be her last.

I also love how easy this creamsicle milkshake is to make. You just need four ingredients: Orange Crush, orange sorbet, vanilla ice cream and a little whipped cream to top it off. Once you’ve got those, you’re ready to get started!

  3. This looks delicious! I can’t wait to make it for my children. Soda is also a special treat at my house, so they’ll be very excited. We still have an ice cream truck that comes through our neighborhood. My husband thinks I’m crazy, but I get just as excited as the kids when I hear that music.

    • I agree…you never outgrow the excitement of hearing the ice cream truck! Even with a freezer full of ice cream, there’s something about getting your treat straight from the truck that makes it taste even better!

    • Unfortunately I don’t know how weight watchers calculates their points. However, I used regular ice cream and sorbet and Orange Crush, which contains sugar. I’m afraid it might be a little high in points (but fun for a splurge day)
