Summer is hot in Texas. I mean, it’s hot everywhere, but it’s especially hot in Texas.

What Are Creamsicles?

So, if you’re unaware of what Creamsicle Popsicles are, I’ll tell you. They’re creamy jello popsicles flavored with orange and vanilla and come together in the best sweet and tangy flavor combo ever. This may be an American thing. I would actually love to know what these types of popsicles are called in whatever part of the world you live in.

What Do These Sugar Free Popsicles Taste Like?

I will tell you that these jello freezer pops do taste a little bit grainy once they’re frozen. I have tried several different variations–four different ones, but who’s counting? (Me, that’s who). I think once you freeze gelatin, the crystals just become–more crystally I suppose. But you get to love the slight chew in these jello ice pops after you get over your first surprise. Or at least, Roger and I did. I hope you welcome that texture too. The key is to make absolutely sure the gelatin is well dissolved before you freeze them. Hot/warm water helps a lot with this process, but nothing beats good old fashioned elbow grease for stirring.

Tips and Tricks for Making Creamsicle Popsicles

One note about the jello popsicle molds. I have tried so many popsicle molds, it’s a little crazy. Now I use two models, and this Zoku pop mold is the one I used to make these popsicles. I like that the mold stands up by itself, and it helps release the pops very easily. It’s also a lot easier to clean than some of the others I’ve tried so I would recommend these.Do not over blend the gelatin mixture! If you over blend the mixture it will end up turning into jello butter, which is certainly not what we’re going for here. About 30 seconds in a high powered blender is all you need. If you’re in need of a good, solid blender, check out this Vitamix Blender. They’re wonderful blenders and they’re what I use in my own kitchen. A more affordable and great blender is the Ace Instant Pot Blender. Make absolutely sure the gelatin is well dissolved before you freeze them. Hot/warm water helps a lot with this process, but nothing beats good old-fashioned elbow grease for stirring. For a vegan version, use a vegetarian/agar-agar based gelatin, such as this Simply Delish Dessert Jel.If you are dairy-free, try these with canned, full-fat coconut milk instead of the heavy whipping cream.Plan to freeze for at least 4 hours before they harden. Do not leave these in the freezer for too long as the jello seems to get grainier over time. Plan to eat them within a day or two.

How Long Do They Last?

If I had to guess, you’ll likely finish these off well before they go bad. As with any store-bought popsicles, when stored properly these sugar free popsicles will last up to 3 months in your freezer.
