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 the dairy in ice cream doesn’t love me. These orange cardamom creamsicles are dairy-free, using coconut milk instead of dairy milk.

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. Beyond that, cardamom actually has a few health benefits. It’s a very effective remedy against bad breath, helps prevent cavity development while also being rich in various vitamins and micronutrients. In this recipe, cardamom pairs so good with the orange flavor, taking the flavor up a notch.

This was also my first time making homemade popsicles. Have you tried making these before? They were actually much easier than I originally thought. I used this 10-Cavity Frozen Ice Cream Pop Mold Silicone Popsicle Maker Lolly Mould with Cover Lid +12 Sticks. It was super easy to use and the popsicles came out easily. If you haven’t ever tried making your own homemade popsicles,  you’ll want to give it a try. I have a feeling there will be many more popsicle recipes to come because this was super fun!

Orange cardamom creamsicles, the perfect summer treat! 

---

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 8 oz orange juice (pulp-free, not from concentrate)

Cream ingredients

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

---

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the cream ingredients and whisk together. 
2. Pour the cream mixture into the molds, filling each slot up 3/4 of the way. 
3. Fill the remaining space in each mold with the 8 oz. of orange juice.
4. Add the lid and popsicle sticks to the mold. Carefully transfer to the freezer and let freeze overnight. 
5. 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. 
6. Store in a freezer bag or storage container.
