Keto Sparkling Orange Creamsicle

About This Recipe

If you grew up loving the nostalgic taste of orange creamsicles, this keto-friendly Sparkling Orange Creamsicle will bring those sweet summer memories right back—without the sugar crash. Instead of a popsicle on a stick, this version transforms the flavor into a bubbly, refreshing drink that’s creamy, fizzy, and perfectly low carb.

The magic happens when sugar-free orange soda meets a splash of heavy cream and a hint of vanilla. The combination creates that iconic “orange creamsicle” flavor: citrusy and bright, balanced with smooth, velvety cream. Topping it off with whipped cream and a slice of orange makes it feel extra special, almost like a dessert you can sip.

Not only is this drink delicious, but it’s also quick and effortless to make. All you need are a few keto-friendly ingredients and a tall glass. It’s ready in minutes, making it perfect for when you want something fun and satisfying without much effort. You can serve it at brunches, summer cookouts, or even as a low-carb dessert option when you’re craving something sweet but light.

Another bonus is how versatile it is. You can make it family-friendly or elevate it into a cocktail by adding a splash of vodka or rum. If you prefer dairy-free, swap heavy cream for coconut cream, which pairs beautifully with orange and adds a tropical twist. The drink is also highly customizable—you can adjust the sweetness by choosing different sugar-free sodas or experimenting with flavored sparkling waters.

Nutritionally, this Sparkling Orange Creamsicle is keto-approved with only a few grams of net carbs. It satisfies your sweet tooth while keeping you in line with your macros. It’s light enough to enjoy as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up but indulgent enough to serve as dessert.

Refreshing, creamy, and fun, this keto Sparkling Orange Creamsicle proves that you don’t have to give up your favorite childhood flavors to stick to a low-carb lifestyle. It’s a feel-good drink that brings back nostalgia while staying totally guilt-free.
