Creamsicle Crush Snow Cones
2 cups orange juice
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups shaved ice
Heat a small saucepan on medium heat. Add orange juice and reduce in half, stirring occasionally, to 1 cup. In a second saucepan, heat to medium and add half-and-half. Reduce to 1/2 cup. Cool each slightly. Next, combine orange juice, half-and-half and vanilla in a small pitcher. Mix well. (Mixture should be somewhat cooled, but not completely as the cream will separate.) Pack about 1 cup shaved ice into a paper snow cone or cup. Drizzle with creamsicle mixture until ice is well-covered. Repeat process for each snow cone.
Makes 4 servings.
