The oil-soluble extract ensures the orange flavor blends seamlessly into the butter for a consistent, long-lasting taste.

Ingredients
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
-
3 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
-
2–3 Tbsp heavy cream or milk
-
½ tsp Oil Soluble Orange Creamsicle Flavoring Extract
-
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, enhances the creamy balance)
-
Pinch of salt
-
(Optional) A few drops of natural orange coloring for a bright creamsicle hue
Directions
Beat the butter – In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until light, fluffy, and creamy.
Add powdered sugar – Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the liquid ingredients – Pour in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk and continue to beat until smooth and spreadable.
Mix in the flavoring – Add Oil Soluble Orange Creamsicle Flavoring Extract, a pinch of salt, and vanilla extract if desired. Beat for another minute to ensure even distribution of flavor.
Adjust consistency and color – For a lighter texture, add more cream; for thicker frosting, add extra powdered sugar. Add a few drops of orange coloring for a vibrant, creamsicle-inspired finish.
