Orange Swirl


Once again Blue Bell has brought me back to my childhood, this is a classic orange creamsicle in a tub! Just like the ones we used to run to the ice cream truck to get, the kind that would end up running down your arm in a melty mess if you didn't eat it quick enough. The reason creamsicles have been a summertime staple since the dawn of time is because sometimes ice cream alone can be a little heavy on a hot summer day (especially in this Texas heat)...but sherbet mixed with ice cream can be so refreshing!

Blue Bell's Orange Swirl has just enough vanilla ice cream mixed in with the orange sherbet to give it depth and a creamy richness, but its also light enough to have at an outdoor BBQ on a 100 degree day and not feel like you have to drink a gallon of water to wash it down.

This is flavor gets 5 out of 5 scoops for classic summertiminess!

Ps. Blue Bell, if you're reading this, can you make this flavor in the half-gallon size please? If only for the summer months, I bet you won't regret it!
