Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh orange juice
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, heavy cream, and whole milk until fully combined.
Add the honey, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest (if using) to the mixture. Stir until the sugar and honey are completely dissolved.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more sugar or honey.
Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top for expansion as they freeze.
Insert popsicle sticks into each mold and ensure they are standing upright.
Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
Once frozen, remove the creamsicles from the molds by running warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade orange creamsicles!
