Where was the creamsicle invented?

Oakland, California is the location where Frank Epperson, an 11-year-old boy invented the first creamsicle in 1905 by putting fruit juice around vanilla ice cream. He called it the “Epsicle” which then became a popsicle, and then a creamsicle, and then also a dreamsicle.

How do You Spell Creamsicle?

Yes, I know it may seem superfluous to put this here, but when I was researching what a regular creamsicle drink is, I found out that many people misspell the word as “creamcicle” or “creamsickle.” It’s properly spelled “creamsicle,” and is pronounced, “cream·si·cle.” Hope that helps.

What is the difference between a creamsicle and a dreamsicle?

Not many people know the difference between these two orange-flavored popsicles, and routinely use either word as if they are the same. However, there is a difference between them. The creamsicle typically has vanilla ice cream with an orange sherbert (sherbet) exterior coating. The dreamsicle has an ice milk interior with the same orange sherbet exterior.

When is National Creamsicle Day?

Yes, there is a national holiday for just about everything you can think of, and National Creamsicle Day is August 14th every year. Go out and enjoy either the traditional popsicle or this orange creamsicle cocktail on that day.

Notes

I recommend using freshly squeeze orange juice.

All the ingredients must be chilled. If the ingredients are at room temperature the drink will curdle.

If you want to use other alcohol, you can use regular vodka, orange or vanilla flavored vodka, orange flavored gin or regular gin, light white rum, or flavored orange rum.

You can make a vegan version by swapping evaporated milk with evaporated coconut milk.
