Elaine: Orange-Lemon Ice Cream

Without an ice cream maker, I definitely think this recipe would be perfect to pour into popsicle molds. I put the ice cream mixture into a bowl and stirred the contents 2 x every 1.5 hours. I think it needed a couple more stirs. The consistency without the ice cream maker was that of an icee. You could feel the ice crystals in each spoonful. I'm sure with an ice cream maker it would be a lot smoother. The flavoring totally hit the spot....not too creamy...not too tart...not too sweet. Kate, I had Heather, Luke and the kids over for lunch today. I served the Bill Granger Open-faced Chicken Sandwich, his potato lemon salad and ended it with this creamsicley icee which the kids loved on this hot afternoon. A great recipe. I'm definitely going to make this again.
