Description
Bright, creamy popsicles that taste like frozen creamsicles from the ice cream truck, made with orange gelatin and heavy cream.
Ingredients
- 1 (3 oz) box orange Jello, or 2 (0.3 oz) boxes sugar-free orange Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold from the fridge)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Popsicle mold and sticks
Instructions
- Fill a heatproof 4-cup measuring cup with 1 cup boiling water. Pour carefully to avoid splashes.
- Stir the orange Jello powder into the boiling water until completely dissolved and smooth.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream until the mixture reaches about 3 cups.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little headspace for expansion. Insert sticks if required.
- Freeze the molds for about 6 hours, or until completely solid.
- To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds until popsicles slip free.
Notes
For a lighter version, try half-and-half in place of heavy cream. For dairy-free, replace with full-fat canned coconut milk. Use cold cream to maintain texture and avoid icy crystals.
