In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the orange gelatin mix with 1 cup of boiling water until fully dissolved.
Add 0.5 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin mixture. Stir well and set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the orange juice and condensed milk mixture until fully combined.
Slowly pour the cooled orange gelatin into the mixture, stirring gently as you go to incorporate evenly.
Pour the Dreamsicle mixture into individual dessert cups or a large serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Optional: Serve with crushed ice for an extra refreshing touch. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or orange slices, if desired.
