If something called an orange “coke” confuses, let me help you out. Southerners use coke as a generic term for soft drinks. Welcome to Dixie!
Following the story line in Beer Can Chicken (not really…Sunkist Orange Can), I have several cans of Sunkist Orange soda that I discovered after my son moved back to his college campus following a summer at home. I took some inspiration from one of my favorite childhood ice creams, Dreamsicle, and make a frozen treat. The final product was good and refreshing. I should have added more milk and cream to get a flavor closer to Dreamsicle. The orange flavor was a tad too prominent. It did mellow out the longer it stayed in the freezer. I used fat-free half-n-half because that’s what I had on hand and I use it in my morning coffee. Full fat half-n-half or cream would toned down the orange flavor, I’m sure.
3 (12 ounce) cans Sunkist orange coke
1 can Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
1 cup fat-free half-n-half
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients well and pour into an ice cream freezer and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Fat free half and half is not half and half. It is skim milk. Period.

Diane,
You’re right about that the flavor is richer than skim milk. I drink skim milk all the time but don’t like it in my coffee.
