One of my favorite summer treats are these dairy-free orange cardamom creamsicles! Using a few fresh, simple ingredients and coconut milk for the dairy-free option, these orange creamsicles are super easy to make right at home!

Dairy-free Orange Cardamom Creamsicles

Hands down, my favorite summer ice cream flavor is orange creamsicle. When I met my husband he shared that was his favorite flavor, too, so of course, we were a match made in heaven from that point on! As much as I love ice cream, sometimes dairy doesn’t love me, so creating dairy-free creamsicles was the solution!

You might be wondering what in the world is cardamom, and why is it in these popsicles?? Cardamom is an aromatic spice that originated in India and surrounding areas. It looks a bit like pepper, is very aromatic, and pairs well with citrus flavors. In this recipe, cardamom pairs so good with the orange flavor, taking the flavor up a notch.

Ingredients Needed

To make these orange cardamom creamsicles, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom
  • 8 oz + 3 Tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tsp orange zest

How to make orange cardamom creamsicles

  • In a small bowl, combine everything but the 8 oz. of orange juice and whisk together.
  • Pour the mixture into the popsicle mold, filling each slot up 3/4 of the way.
  • Fill the remaining space in each mold with the 8 oz. of orange juice.
  • Add the lid and popsicle sticks to the mold. Carefully transfer to the freezer and let freeze overnight.
  • To remove, run warm water over the bottom portion of the popsicle mold for about a minute. Remove the lid and begin to work the popsicles out of the mold. If you’re using the silicone mold, you can squeeze the bottom portion of the mold as you pull up. If they’re still not moving, you can let the mold sit out on the counter for a few minutes, too.
  • Store in a freezer bag or storage container.

Recipe FAQs

How do you remove popsicles from molds?

To remove the popsicles from the mold, run warm water over the bottom portion of the popsicle mold for about a minute. Remove the lid and begin to work the popsicles out of the mold. If you’re using the silicone mold, you can squeeze the bottom portion of the mold as you pull up. If they’re still not moving, you can let the mold sit out on the counter for a few minutes, too.

How do you make creamsicles without a mold?

You can fill a plastic cup with the orange creamsicle mixture, then cover the top with plastic wrap and gently poke your stick through the wrap into the mixture. Then freeze overnight.

What kind of ice cream is dairy free?

Any ice cream that is made with non-dairy milk such as coconut milk, soy milk, or almond milk would be considered dairy free. If you only need lactose-free, then a lactose free milk would work.

    I love that you put cardamom in these popsicles!! It’s one of my favorite spices for sweets. While I don’t usually use alternative milks, I think the flavor of coconut and orange with the cardamom would be divine.

    This is new to me. I’ve never made popsicles with coconut milk before, yum! I have always thought cardamom goes great in popsicles, I tried it once in an apricot and orange popsicle and it was fantastic. Saving this, gonna have to try this!

    Homemade popsicles are a favorite during the summer. We’ve just recently started using coconut milk in ice cream but haven’t tried it in popsicles. That’s a great idea!

    I love that these creamsicles don’t have dairy!! My hubby used to love creamsicles as a child but hasn’t been able to have them since he’s intolerant! So, I’m going to make these for him and he’s going to be so happy!! They look so delicious!
