Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream

Growing up a creamsicle popsicle was one of my favorite treats. I did not get them often, but when I did, I savored every bite. Then during my college years I had a drink that tasted just like those creamsicle popsicles. Now I have taken the wonderful taste of a creamsicle and turned it into an ice cream.

• 1 cup half and half

1. Place freezer safe container, for storing the ice cream, in the freezer.

4. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions.
