There is nothing quite like an icy frozen treat on a hot day, no? Somehow these gorgeous summer days can leave us feeling a little wilted and I for one am always glad to pause and savour a bit of a freezing cold refreshment. These popsicles remind me of sitting on the dock when I was little at my grandma’s pond, then running to the freezer with my brother for the icy popsicles she always kept there. They were always so good, and a perfect lull in an afternoon filled with splashing and heat.

It is quite easy to make popsicles, and these are no exception. Oranges are always refreshing, and doubly so when frozen into these little beauties. The cream is whipped light, and thick yogurt lends a luscious tang to the experience. Sweeten the cream ever so slightly, and you are on your way to a perfect summer afternoon.
how to make the orange creamsicles…
Peel a few oranges, and place the segments into a blender. Process them into a vibrant juice, and then move on to the cream. Whip the heavy cream until if forms stiff peaks, and then beat in the yogurt. Drizzle a bit of agave over the cream mixture, and stir.
Layer orange juice, cream, orange juice, cream until the popsicle moulds are almost full – leave a bit of room for them to expand. Place the lids on top of the moulds and push wooden popsicle sticks two-thirds of the way into the popsicles. Leave the treats in the freezer for a day and then pull them out and savour.
