With summer here the kids and I are trying to think of fun summer treats to keep us cool. The kids absolutely love orange creamsicles but of course, with all of our food sensitivities I am hesitant to buy treats like that. It’s always best to make our own when we can. These Homemade Orange Creamsicles are so easy to make, with just 3 ingredients, and the kids love to help! There’s nothing quite like enjoying a treat you get to help make. Enjoy this easy orange creamsicle recipe.
Easy Homemade Orange Creamsicle Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- optional: 1/2 tsp orange extract
This recipe makes about 8 pops and you will need a popsicle mold.
How To Make Orange Creamsicle Popsicles:
In the bowl of a stand mixer blend the cream cheese until it is soft and creamy.
Slowly add the orange juice to the cream cheese. You don’t want to add it all at once or you’ll end up with a lot of splatter. Mix the juice and cream cheese until it is blended. The creamsicles have a very mild orange flavor with just the orange juice, which my family loves. For a more powerful orange flavor you can add 1/2 teaspoon of orange extract.
After the orange juice and cream cheese are blended, slowly add the whipping cream and mix on high. The mixture will begin to thicken but will not become as thick as whipping cream. It should still be thin enough to easily pour.
Pour the orange creamsicle mixture into your popsicle mold and transfer them to the freezer. Freeze for several hours or overnight to insure they are frozen solid. The creamsicles melt a little faster than a traditional popsicle so you’ll want them to be frozen all the way through!
Remove them from the freezer and run the bottom of the mold under warm water for a few seconds to help them release.
Pop them out and enjoy!
These homemade orange creamsicles are creamy, delicious, and taste like summer!
Your family is sure to love these homemade popsicles. In fact, creamsicles just may become a new summer family tradition.
