Equipment

  • Blender
  • Silicone Popsicle Molds
  • Popsicle Sticks

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup milk
  • 57 grams cane sugar
  • 1 orange (zest)
  • ½ cup orange juice (from fresh oranges)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 75 grams vanilla yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Add the milk and cane sugar to a small pot and heat on medium/high until the sugar is dissolved. Make sure that the milk doesn't heat over 160°F as it can burn and that flavor can transfer to your popsicles.
  • Add the orange zest, orange juice, milk mixture, cream, and vanilla yogurt to a blender.
  • Blend on high for about 30 seconds to a minute, until it begins to thicken slightly.
  • Pour the orange mixture into popsicle molds and place popsicle sticks in.
  • Freeze overnight. Remove from the molds and they are ready to enjoy!

Notes

Tips
  • I use a silicone popsicle mold here, and it is a game changer! I would highly recommend buying one if you don't have one, or even if you have a plastic one, as this one is so much better. It really helps get the popsicles out very easily. The only thing to watch out for when using a silicone popsicle mold is make sure nothing is touching it in your freezer, as if you have a box or something up against it, it can create an indent in your popsicles, ha!
  • I use fresh oranges here for the juice. But, if you wan to use orange juice, you can do that too.
  • I use organic vanilla yogurt here. The vanilla yogurt is key, as it gives a sweetness and provides that cream flavor, so while plain will work, it won't give you the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer to mix the popsicle mixture.
  • High Altitude — Follow the recipe as noted.
