I believe in heaven.
And I believe that in heaven, we will be eating stuff like this……. :)
I have loved the orange/creme flavor of things since I was a little girl. But this delicious recipe intensified that love. The creme in this recipe is rich and so smooth, topped with the blast of orange sherbet on top………………..Oh yum. You will not be disappointed. Promise.
It really is the perfect summer treat.
I got this recipe from a Kraft magazine that I get in the mail every once in a while for free. I will list the recipe here but will share my alterations at the end.

Frosty Orange Creme Layered Dessert
2 cups orange sherbet
1 package cream cheese (8 oz)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tub (8 oz) cool whip
First, line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with foil. Spread the sherbet onto bottom of prepared pan to form even layer.Freeze 10 min.
Meanwhile, beat cream cheese in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Gradually add condensed milk and juice, beating until blended. Gently stir in cool whip. Pour over sherbet in pan.
Freeze 3 hours. To unmold, invert pan onto plate; remove foil.
**I increased the sherbet to about 3 cups and would next time only use half of the creamy topping. While it is incredibly good, the topping is pretty rich. It turns out to be twice as much as the sherbet and I think it would taste much better and more balanced, if the two flavors were equal in quantity to each other.

But don’t let this fool you. It is the perfect cool, sweet treat.
Ooo sounds super yummy. I get the Kraft magazine too, I missed that one. Thanks for sharing.
Ashley, thank you for all your wonderful ideas! I am very excited to try this! Dreamsicles are my favorite summer treat!
Yummy Ashley, that sounds and looks delicious! I really am going to try that out some day.
How did you know that this would be the perfect treat for me to make my hubby happy :) As my hubby likes to say, just a little bit of heaven melting in your mouth!
Oh my!
Aren't those Kraft magazines the best – the have the easiest and some of the tastiest recipes. Thanks for sharing this – looks delish!!!
OOOH! I made this for a family BBQ and it was a hit! SO YUMMY!
Oh my this sounds so good!! I think my family will love this too. I have got to make it. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Can't wait to get all the ingredients!!
My son would love this dessert! I don't tent to like orange cream flavors but he very much does. I think this would be a great surprise dessert for him. Thanks!
Oh my! My mouth is watering!!!
mmmmm
I get the Kraft magazine too, it has some really great recipes and you can't argue with the price!! ha. I didn't see this one though, looks yummy. I imagine you could always mix up the flavour of the sherbet too if you're not partial to orange.
I love your idea. Maybe raspberry. Or lime. Now I can’t wait to try it in a different flavor.
Yum! I will definately have to try this.
I made a dessert for a baby shower similar to this. I put it on a graham cracker crust and it was delicious and devoured quickly!
It looks so good!
That looks divine!
ohhhhh yummy! I am going to have to give it a try! I just love orange creamsicles!! You are awesome!!
Ooo, thangs for sharing!!
Love creamsicles, so this sounds just delicious. Just the type of thing I expect to eat in heaven. :)
That looks good! You could always increase the sherbet to 4 cups and then split everything between two pans. If you didn't need both right away, the second would probably last in the freezer for a week or so. Maybe?
Thank you so much for this recipe!! Creamsicles are my favorite frozen treat. I can't wait to make this!!!
Oh wow that looks amazing
I enjoy all your crafty ideas, but must say this one I couldn't pass up!
I put mine in a 9 x 13…one tub of orange on the top (I didn't feel like measuring)…next time I'd put one on the top and one on the bottom! Perfect summer yum!
um this looks magnificent. I think I may try it this weekend! :-)
just made this for company… super BIG hit. thanks for the recipe!
Hi, Just flound your website, and I think it is simply wonderful. Tis dessert seems gorgeous, however I am from Australia and have no idea what orange sherbert is or cool whip. Is the cool whip similar to whipped cream? As for the sherbert…is there a recipe to make it from scratch?
I do look forward to reading more of your blog. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world.
Regards
Angela
Hi Angela…..sorry about the confusion! And cool whip….hmmmm, it is like whipped cream but it's non-dairy normally and seems to be stiffer and hold up thicker in recipes. But it's used just like whipped cream. I think if you used whipped cream, the dessert would be just as tasty. As for sherbert, it's like ice cream, but made with fruit juice and sugar. And some cream too. It's lighter than ice cream and a great summertime dessert. I don't have a recipe for it myself but imagine there are many places to find it online.
Best of luck and happy you've found this site. Enjoy!
Ashley
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Regards from Australia,
Angela
I don't think i want to wait until summer to make this…. it looks absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Yummers!!
think I might make this the next time we go to the inlaws for dinner!
This looks so yummy! I'm going to make it next week, even if it's still cold outside.
I think it will make a great ST Patty's Day dessert, since orange and white are two of the colors on Ireland's flag :)
Take part of the cream topping & add some green food coloring.Then you’d have orange,white center,& green bottom,thus Irish flag : ) Happy St. Patrick’s Day !
Good idea. Love this.
Looks incredible and can't wait to make it, but for the cream cheese, is it a 4 oz or 8 oz package?
Sorry about that…..it's an 8 ounce package. :)
