This is a take on the classic Creamsicle orange fluff of years gone by. As children, we all begged for this dessert. It really did taste just like an orange creamsicle, right off the ice cream truck. There are only a few ingredients needed for the dessert. However, there are a few steps that have to be done in order to make this come out properly. Do not shy away, it really is not that bad.
