I’ve made these homemade orange creamsicles all summer long and each one has me feeling like a big kid and reminds me of simpler times. Growing up, classic orange creamsicles were the big frozen treat at the concession stand and the ice cream trucks; I didn’t even mind standing in the long line to get one or two.

Making these orange creamsicles at home is so much better than the store-bought because you know what’s in them. They are made with just 3 ingredients and are healthier than the ones you can buy which makes you feel good when you are eating them or sharing with the kids.

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.
