Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and optional orange zest.
2. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved. This may take 2-3 minutes of continuous mixing.
3. Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion as it freezes.
4. Gently tap the filled molds on the countertop to release any air bubbles that may be trapped in the mixture.
5. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds. If your molds don’t have built-in stick holders, you can let the mixture freeze for about 1 hour until it starts to set, then insert the sticks to ensure they stay upright.
6. Freeze the popsicles for at least 6 hours or overnight, until completely solid.
7. To release the creamsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, citrusy delight!
