Low Carb Orange Creamsicle Cake
Jump to...
Introduction
Creamsicles are a summer tradition! There’s nothing like cooling off on a hot summer’s day with the refreshing tang of a delicious creamsicle.
I have fond memories of chasing down the ice cream truck in the summers so I could buy an orange creamsicle. If you’re like me, creamsicles occupy a special place in your heart.
The sweetness and flavor of an orange popsicle mixed with the refreshing coolness of vanilla ice cream is second to none. There really is nothing better! Well, at least, there used to not be! This awesome Low Carb Orange Creamsicle cake is as tasty and refreshing as your favorite summer treat, but without the sugar or carbs!
Let the ice cream man drive on by because this low carb orange creamsicle cake is all you need this summer!
Is Orange Creamsicle Cake Keto-Friendly?
This cake was designed as a low-carb dessert, but no single serving can guarantee that someone will stay in ketosis. What matters is the serving size, the complete recipe, the rest of your day, and your individual response.
The orange ingredients are carefully measured: the complete cake uses two teaspoons of orange juice and one teaspoon of zest across about 10 slices. The recipe card also gives you the option of using one teaspoon of orange extract instead of the juice.
Want to compare those options before you bake? Our guide to oranges on keto covers the net carbs in whole oranges and juice, plus practical ways to use zest and extract.

Low Carb Orange Creamsicle Cake Sweetened With Monk Fruit
This cake is sweetened with Lakanto monk fruit sweetener, the sweetener we have long preferred for our keto desserts. We like its flavor and do not notice an aftertaste, and it is sold as a 1:1 replacement for sugar.
If you use another sweetener, check its package for the correct conversion and remember that the flavor can change from one blend to another.
