You can use plain greek yogurt, but you want a pretty runny consistency in the end. You could add more coconut milk to your greek yogurt to make it the right pourable consistency.

Storing Your Homemade Orange Creamsicle Popsicles

Store your delicious orange creamsicle popsicles in the freezer in an air-tight container or freezer bag. The pops can be left in the mold for storing or taken out.

If you remove the creamsicle pops from the mold, I recommend wrapping them with something non-stick like parchment paper or plastic wrap. Alternately, you could just place a layer of parchment paper between each creamsicle pop to keep them from sticking.

Ideas for Customizing Your Healthy Orange Creamsicle Popsicles

These orange creamsicle popsicles are extremely versatile. Feel free to play around with the ingredients to create you own custom flavor. Some ideas for customization are:

  • Add a second fruit flavor – blend in some frozen banana, strawberries or peaches with your yogurt for a custom flavor mix.
  • For a citrus creamsicle pop, add a bit of lemon or lime juice to your liquid mixture.
  • Try an orange or vanilla flavored yogurt base.
  • Substitute the pure maple syrup sweetener for honey or agave nectar – use more or less depending on how much sweetness you like.
  • Use orange food coloring to intensify the orange color.
  • Try a bit of heavy cream for an even richer orange creamsicle.

How do I Make My Orange Creamsicle Popsicles Creamy and Not Icy?

My best tip for getting delicious, creamy textured creamsicle popsicles is to use full fat yogurt. Low fat yogurt will result in more icy texture, but it will still taste great either way!

Tips for Making Orange Creamsicle Popsicles

Here are a few helpful tips for making the best homemade creamsicle popsicles:

  • Once you’ve poured the liquid creamsicle mixture into your popsicle mold, gently tap the mold to get any air bubbles out before freezing.
  • You may need to run your frozen popsicle mold under warm water for a minute to loosen the creamsicle pops before taking them out.
  • If you want to make a stash of popsicles, remove finished pops from the mold and wrap individually so you can use the mold for a second batch.
