Substitutions and Additions
- You can substitute Greek Yogurt for the regular yogurt used in this recipe.
- Add a bit of orange zest to the orange juice mixture.
- Use a little bit of sugar substitute, like Stevia, if you prefer a bit more sweetness.
Why use Frozen Concentrate
Frozen orange juice concentrate has a stronger orange flavor than juice or fresh oranges so it’s perfect for this popsicle recipe. Be sure to thaw the concentrate before using it, or the mixture will be too thick. When the mixture is too thick, the popsicles won’t set properly. You can thaw the concentrate easily by placing it in the refrigerator the night before. Short on time? Measure the concentrate that you need and then microwave for 15 to 20 seconds or until thawed – you don’t want to boil it so keep an eye on it.
How Long to Freeze?
Allow 8 hours for the popsicles to fully freeze. The popsicles will stay good for up to one month in the freezer. After that, they tend to get freezer burn and need to be replaced.
How To Easily Get Popsicles Out Of The Mold
- Fill a bowl or dish that is at least as tall as your mold with warm water. Make sure it does not cover the top. Place the mold into the warm water for 30 seconds. This should loosen the pops enough to slide out smoothly.
- Set the ice pops out onto the counter for 5 to 10 minutes. This should help them melt just enough that they will pull right out.
