Cool off with these 3 Ingredient Orange Creamsicle popsicles that are made in minutes with fresh orange juice, yogurt, and a little powder sugar to sweeten things up!
The summer months in Florida are hot. What better way to cool off then make these easy 3-Ingredient Orange Creamsicle Yogurt Pops! By combining Orange Juice, Vanilla Yogurt, and a little powdered sugar you have a refreshing treat! You can use a traditional ice pop mold or use the ZOKU Quick Pop Maker (which is exactly what I used for this recipe, making it a quick treat in minutes). I made 4 ice pops in 20 minutes. In between making batches I just froze the first two to keep them cold. Although if you have family members that can’t wait to cool off you could just let them enjoy them immediately.
In this post you will learn the following information.
Ingredients
- Orange Juice – I prefer pulp free, but use whatever you have on hand. You can also freshly squeeze oranges to obtain the juice from them.
- Yogurt – I prefer Stonyfield Whole Milk Vanilla Yogurt. It gives a delicious creamy flavor and is packed full of nutrients.
- Powder Sugar – I sweetened up our pops with a little powdered sugar. You can also use sugar substitutes like agave or even honey. Or simply leave it out all together.
Directions
For making with a ZOKU Quick Pop Maker:
Whisk the ingredients in a bowl. Insert the sticks into the ZOKU and pour the yogurt mixture until you reach the fill line. Set a timer and let it freeze completely (about 10 minutes). Remove the pops with the Super Tool and enjoy. Repeat with remaining pops.
For making with a traditional ice pop mold:
Whisk the ingredients in a bowl (or food processor/blender). Pour into the ice pop mold. *Follow instructions on how to place sticks into the mold. Freeze according to ice pop mold instructions. Typically 6-8 hours in the freezer.
Pro Tip: Run a traditional ice pop mold under luke warm water to easily remove the ice pop from the mold.
FAQs
According to wikipedia: “Noun. creamsicle (plural creamsicles) A flavored popsicle with an ice cream core. Any of various sweet and creamy mixed drinks.”
My recipe for Orange Creamsicle Pops is gluten free. Yogurt, orange juice, and powder sugar are naturally gluten free. If you have a food allergy. Always check product packaging prior to cooking to make sure your items are gluten free.
The two terms are very similar. The difference between the two is that a Creamsicle is made with ice cream (in this recipes case yogurt). A Dreamsicle is traditionally made with ice milk.

I originally created this recipe June, 1, 2015 and updated with more helpful information and facts on how to make the very best creamsicles.
I love looking back on recipes from the past. My sweet baby was just over a year old Ryder loved the orange creamsicles. I tried letting Ryder hold the ice pop but he had no desire. From the moment I let him lick the pop he couldn’t stop. This was the summer that I started to introduce frozen ice pops to him. He loved every variation I shared with him.
