Can I make orange creamsicle popsicles without a food processor or blender?

Yes, you can. You can mash the mandarin oranges as much as possible by hand, and then mix in the orange juice, sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream using a handheld mixer or stand mixer to ensure everything is well incorporated before pouring the mixture into molds.

How long do homemade popsicles last in the freezer?

Homemade popsicles will last about 6 months in the freezer. To prevent freezer burn, it is best not to leave them in the molds, as popsicle molds are usually not airtight. Once frozen, transfer the popsicles to an airtight freezer container or bag.

What are some fun flavor variations for these creamsicle popsicles?

For a fun twist, you can substitute the orange juice with lemonade or grapefruit juice. You can also mix in Greek yogurt to make the popsicles extra creamy, or even add whipped cream vodka and vanilla vodka to create an adult creamsicle cocktail.

How do I easily remove popsicles from the mold without breaking them?

The best way to remove a popsicle is to run the outside of the mold under warm water for about 30 to 60 seconds. Carefully wiggle the popsicle stick; if it doesn't come out immediately, run it under water for a few more seconds. Do not force it, or the popsicle might break.

Total Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 8 popsicles

Ingredients

½ cup orange juice
2 mandarin oranges (peeled)
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Add the mandarin oranges, orange juice, and white sugar to a food processor or a high-powered blender. Process for about 20 seconds until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream to the mixture.
Process for another 60 seconds. The mixture should be thick, but not stiff. (If it is still quite runny, process for another 60 seconds).
Spoon the creamy orange mixture carefully into your popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top for expansion.
Freeze for 4-6 hours, or overnight until completely solid.
Remove from the freezer and let sit on the counter for 2-5 minutes. Run the outside of the mold under warm water for 30 seconds to easily release the popsicles.

Notes

Drip Catcher: Poke the wooden popsicle stick through the center of a paper cupcake liner before handing it to a child to catch any sticky drips!
