There’s something about spring and ice pops that go hand in hand for me. Every year about this time I start craving sweet frozen goodness on a stick. Ice pops are one of my very favorite ways to use up fruit that’s not going to get eating up in time before it goes bad. Well my gorgeous aunt stopped by the other day with a bag full of oranges and lemons from her tree. (Yes, they both grow on one tree, it’s pretty cool.) There was so much yummy citrus that I had to think of something to make.

These ice pops are just a little sweet and slightly decadent. I was worried that the kidlets wouldn’t like them too much, but they did. (Out of a batch of 10, one day later I only had 5 left to photograph!)
I spent more time peeling the oranges to make the juice than I did putting together the ice pops. It took 5 oranges to make approximately one and a half cups of juice in the juicer.
I used my handy immersion blender to combine the juice, heavy whipping cream, vanilla, orange zest and stevia. The stevia was just to add a bit of sweetness. I only used one packet. You could also use honey, simple syrup or other sweetener. If you use commercial orange juice you probably won’t need any additional sweetener at all.
Once blended, pour evenly into your ice pop maker (I use the Norpro), insert your sticks and freeze.

Oh my. I want some of those. Gimme an ice pop or two.
They are certainly tasty!
This might be the next batch of popsicles we make. It’s gonna be a long hot summer. Thanks for partying with us on Creative K Kids Tasty Tuesdays.
I love making popsicles and orange creamsicle flavor is a huge hit in our house. Pinning this for later!
Thanks for sharing this post at the Pin Me Linky Party at Diana Rambles. This post is going to be featured at the end of the month as part of a frozen ice pop recipe collection. It’s also been yummed, pinned and tweeted. Have a great week! ~Diana
I can see why these disappeared so quickly!
