This has such a light summery taste, and it's so easy. It's earned a permanent spot in my recipe box.

Delicious and refreshing! I added about 1 cup pastel mini-marshmallows with the oranges.

I have used a recipe similar to this one for many years with good results. I have used the vanilla ice cream but haven't tried it with orange juice. I have replaced the vanilla i.c. with orange sherbet --very tasty.
