Orange Brutus
By Gloria Pitzer – part of her “Original 200” recipes collection.
This particular version can be seen in her last cookbook, Gloria Pitzer’s Cookbook – The Best of the Recipe Detective (Balboa Press, Jan. 2018)…as always, asking only for proper credit if you care to share it!
Remember, Brutus is the fella who ‘did in’ Julius! The 3 original versions of this frozen orange concoction were first printed on page 52 of Gloria’s Secret Fast-Food Recipes (1977) cookbook. This is the way it used to taste, like an orange Creamsicle, when it was first introduced in the 1920s. Today it’s a little different, and easier to recreate at home!
Ingredients:
3 cups orange juice
1 envelope Dream Whip powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 1/2-oz box instant vanilla pudding powder
3 additional cups of orange juice
Instructions:
Combine ingredients in blender until smooth. Pour into a pitcher and add 3 more cups of orange juice. Serve over cracked ice for 6 lovely drinks!
