Let’s talk for a minute about how i achieve that traditional “creamsicle” flavor. A creamsicle bar that you find at the grocery store typically has a vanilla ice cream base and is coated with flavored orange ice. Since we are creating a creamsicle pie, i wanted that same flavor combination, but in a light and creamy version. I attempted to get that same flavor by using a combination of real orange juice and orange extract, combined with a powdered sugar and cream cheese base. The results were dreamy!
