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.
