Ingredients
- 2 cups orange juice: Provides the fruity, refreshing base. Use fresh-squeezed for the best flavor, or a high-quality bottled juice if that’s more convenient.

How to Make It
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
In a large glass measuring cup, measure 2 cups of orange juice and 1 cup of vanilla yogurt. Whisk together until the mixture is completely smooth. This ensures an even distribution of flavors and avoids any yogurt lumps.
Step 2: Fill the Molds
Carefully pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds, filling each mold almost to the top. Insert the sticks securely. This allows the popsicles to freeze properly and makes sure the stick stays in place when frozen.
Step 3: Freeze Until Solid
Place the molds in the freezer and let them set for at least 6 hours or overnight. This ensures that the popsicles will fully harden and be easy to remove from the molds without breaking.
Recipe FAQs
Can I use a different juice?
Absolutely! You can experiment with other juices like pineapple or mango for a fun twist on the traditional creamsicle.
What kind of yogurt is best?
Vanilla yogurt adds a pleasant sweetness, but plain yogurt can be substituted if you prefer less sweetness. Greek yogurt can also be used for a thicker texture.
How do I remove the popsicles from the molds easily?
To easily remove the popsicles, dip the mold in warm water for a few seconds. This loosens the popsicles, allowing them to slide out smoothly.
