Tropical Orange Creamsicle Popsicles

Living in northern Europe, where air conditioning is a rare commodity, I’ve had to create practical ways of staying cool for the few weeks of heat we get each year. A fan is enough on most days, but others (like the 100-degree heat wave we’ve had in the past few weeks) require more ingenuity.

So I sit and work, one ice pack in my shirt, another on my chair, and with a popsicle in hand at all times. It ain’t pretty folks, but it works.

But chomping down on the sugar and fat-filled store-bought popsicles all day isn’t an option (given my tendency to power through 3 or 4 in an effort to stay cool), so I’ve worked out some recipes that make for ultra-delicious ice pops that are healthy too.

Plain Greek yogurt creates the base of these pops. Greek yogurt is different from regular yogurt in that a lot of the extra water has been drawn out, making for a thicker, creamier kind of yogurt. This is perfect in popsicles, where more water leads to more crystallization (i.e. inedible ice blocks).

The banana adds natural sweetness and also contributes to the perfect texture. Finally, the orange and mango give it the classic creamsicle taste (with a tropical twist!) And don’t forget the orange zest!

Flavors tend to become less intense when you freeze them, and the zest is going to pack a punch of flavor to give these pops their addictive taste.

Pouring the blended mixture of fruits into the popsicle molds

Making these creamsicle popsicles are super easy! First, combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

Pour into molds, leaving a little space at the top for them to expand. Insert sticks and freeze until hard (at least 4 hours).
