Pineapple-Orange & Cardamom Creamsicles

Pineapple-Orange & Cardamom Creamsicles might take you back in time for a few minutes. Reminiscent of the bright orange, creamy frozen goodies from childhood, these treats are a bit more grown up, thanks to the added cardamom. If you’re hot and looking for a chilly treat, you’ll love these frozen pops! 

I was inspired to make these creamsicles the day before I was supposed to have my wisdom teeth removed. But, since I rescheduled my appointment (for the third time — yes, I’m a big baby!), it will now just be a treat that’s perfect to serve anytime this summer. That’s more fun anyway!

So, yeah. I needed to have my wisdom tooth removed. I had rescheduled the procedure three times: once because of my own nervousness, a second time because my husband was traveling (who would take care of me?), and a third time…well…I felt a cold coming on, and who wants to be sick and have surgery at the same time?!

Since I sort of had a cold, I thought the vitamin C in these pops (pineapple is loaded with vitamin C) would help get me on the road to recovery in no time. But guys, they’re so good! 

If you’re looking for frozen summer treats, try my Frozen Peach Bellini Push Pops! They’re really fun (it’s easy to make a non-alcoholic version, too) and they’re a great way to stay cool. 

Or you could make my No Churn Lemon Pie Ice Cream. What a tasty way to combine two classic treats! If you want to stick with frosty pops, try these Minty Grasshopper Frozen Yogurt Pops.

I used Greek yogurt to add the “creamy” to these creamsicles, and frozen juice concentrate and fresh pineapple pieces for the sweetness. I wanted to give these creamsicles more of a grown-up feel from the pops from our childhood, so I added cardamom to the mix. I’m so glad I did. These Pineapple-Orange & Cardamom Creamsicles turned out terrific: the cold and creamy paired perfectly with the aromatic cardamom.

You don’t need an excuse to enjoy Pineapple-Orange & Cardamom Creamsicles. You should make them while the weather is h-o-t!

3. Pour the mixture into the molds, and add wooden or plastic sticks into the center of the molds. Freeze upright for at least 6 hours. *Before freezing, if you’d like, add orange zest over the tops of the creamsicles (which is actually the bottoms of the frozen creamsicles).
4. To remove the creamsicles from their molds, run them under warm water for a few seconds (take care not to run the tops under water) to help loosen them.
5. Serve immediately.
