This recipe is so old it is back from the days before I blogged, and kept notes about the websites I found a recipe on. I don't have a clue who to credit this recipe for. For some reason I kept this recipe for years, even though it seemed like I had no intention to make it. Usually, if several years go by and I haven't attempted to make a recipe, I chuck it. I must have known that this recipe would have come in handy on a day when it was too hot to even go to the store to buy popsicles.
Last week I wrote about the Fudgesicles and how sad I was that they only made 4 pops. This recipe makes 8! I only have 6 popsicle molds so I saved the extra "juice" in the fridge until we had eaten 2 of the pops. The extra juice mix kept just fine in the fridge for a day. Just make sure to shake up your leftovers really well before pouring them into the molds.
The original recipe says to use a small can of orange juice concentrate. I only had a large can of Orange Peach Mango juice. I eyeballed half of the can and dumped that into the blender with the rest of the ingredients. I think these pops would taste great with any sort of orange blend concentrate.
Dreamy, Creamy Orange Pops (source unknown)
1 small can of orange juice concentrate (Or half a large one)
1 c milk (I used skim)
1/4 c sugar or your favorite sugar substitute*
1/2 t vanilla
5-7 ice cubes
Dump all the ingredients into a blender and combine until smooth. Pour into molds and freeze for at least 6 hours until they are solid. This would also make a tasty smoothie, but I'd add more ice cubes to make it thicker.
*I thought these were on the sweet side, but Blockette disagreed. Next time I will try it with slightly less sugar and see if she notices the difference. Sweeten the pops to your own preference, but remember that things taste less sweet once they are frozen.
Sounds fabulous and low calorie! Thanks for a great recipe! I can't wait to make it!
