At the time of this recipe is posted it’ll be the end of September and summer will be pretty much a distant memory. Now fall is definitely my favourite season what with my birthday, Halloween and preparing for Christmas, but I guess I’m still hanging on to that last bit of summer with this creamsicle recipe. Plus being Canadian I have no issue with eating ice cold treats all year round!
I initially was hoping to do this with blood oranges instead of navel oranges, but unfortunately my supermarket didn’t have them as they were not yet in season. Apparently they’re in season starting in December so I may end up making this recipe again in the dead of winter anyway!
So enjoy this as you wrap yourself in a nice fuzzy cardigan as you reminisce about that summer cottage trip, patio weather and BBQ. Or at least bookmark this recipe for next June!
