The original Creamsicle was a vanilla ice cream popsicle covered with a thin layer of frozen orange juice. Popsicles were first created in 1905 by an 11-year-old boy, Frank Epperson, who is also credited for inventing the Creamsicle when he was experimenting with with fruit juice and vanilla ice cream. From popsicles and ice creams, to drinks and cookies, the scrumptious orange-vanilla combination has made its way into all sorts of recipes over the years. Some people call them Dreamsicles -- however, Creamsicles and Dreamsicles are slightly different.
