These healthy orange creamsicle popsicles are creamy and full of orange flavor and icy coldness, it’s the perfect treat to enjoy on a hot day. They are easy to make and only require 2 ingredients.
In Playa del Carmen, Mexico fresh juice is sold on every corner.
You can literally walk into any little mom-and-pop restaurant and order orange juice and they will freshly squeeze the oranges right in front of you and serve it to you.
I feel spoiled!
Not only that, but a liter of freshly squeezed orange juice sells for $40 pesos which is about $2 US.
I had some freshly squeezed orange juice in my fridge and I needed to use it up before it went bad. Can I brag again about how good tasting fresh, like TRULY fresh orange juice tastes?
You can’t go back to concentrate after drinking the fresh stuff. I thought, hmmm maybe I’ll make some popsicles with the juice.
But then I thought I need to make the popsicles creamy!
I searched my fridge and noticed some yogurt, so I mixed them together, and voila I had healthy orange creamsicle popsicles.
I found the orange juice and yogurt mixed together was sweet enough for me but if you don’t think it will be sweet enough add in some raw honey or your preferred sweetener.
Tools needed
Orange Creamsicle Popsicles Ingredients
- orange juice (sweetened or unsweetened)
- plain yogurt (dairy or dairy-free like this coconut milk yogurt)
How to Make Orange Creamsicle Popsicles
Place all the ingredients for the popsicles into a bowl and whisk until blended.
Pour this mixture into your popsicle molds, (I used this one).
Add your popsicle sticks and allow them to freeze completely for about 3 hours.
Serve once frozen.
To remove popsicles from the mold, run the popsicle mold under slightly warm water for a couple of minutes. Remove from water and pull popsicles out.
Yogurt Substitute
If you don’t want to use yogurt, you can use coconut cream or anything that is creamy.
Dairy Free Orange Creamsicle Popsicles
These popsicles are dairy free if you use a dairy free yogurt or coconut cream.
