You won’t be able to stop at one! Oh my, but these are good!

I’ve always loved this treat, even from childhood.  I’ve tried to duplicate it a few times in the past without much success.
But then I thought, why try to “duplicate” it?  By and large, the product was artificially flavored and maybe not much good for you (maybe?  Nope it’s not good for you LOL).  So maybe a few natural, or close-to-natural ingredients would be better.

All natural ingredients
I got the idea for using frozen orange juice concentrate when I had to defrost some so I could use about a tablespoon of it in a marinade.  Since I didn’t want to make up a pitcher of OJ, I put it in a container and back in the fridge.  Then I got to thinking about the texture of it when frozen–it’s something like a very sticky sherbet as everyone knows.  I liked that!!!  So I thought I’d try it to make a creamsicle-like pop. FYI the thing I’d do differently *next* time I make these–and there will be a next time–is add about a tablespoon or two of water to the orange concentrate to get it a tad more icy when it freezes. In it’s pristine state, I find it melts a bit *too* quickly.
Anyway since I fell madly in love with Greek yogurt, that’s the base of the white part, but you’d never know it.  To me, it tastes like cheesecake!!

Keyword: frozen treats, orange creamsicles
Servings: 10 people
Calories: 142kcal
Author: Judith Hannemann

Ingredients

  • 1 1 /2 cups plain greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 oz frozen orange juice concentrate thawed

Instructions

  • Process all ingredients, except for orange juice concentrate in a blender or Ninja.
  • Spoon about 1-2 tbs (depends on the size of your molds--I use the one pictured above and used a tad more than 1 tbs) of orange juice concentrate in each mold.
  • Top this with about 2-3 tbs of the yogurt mixture (again it depends on the size of your mold) on top of the orange juice. Repeat until molds are filled, leaving a bit of space at the top to allow for expansion in freezing (maybe 1/16-1/8-inch).
  • Cover mold, add sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Mine made 10 pops with a little OJ left over.
