Fresh mandarin oranges come together to make a sweet and delicious frozen treat. Great for a hot summer day or embracing the winter orange season!
We love popsicles in this house! Besides fudgesicles, the next favorite flavor combination is orange and cream. They are refreshing for Texas summers yet we still scarf them down in wintertime too — it’s orange season!
This is the time of year we always have oranges in our house — especially mandarin oranges. You see — it’s one of the few things my picky son loves. So in the winter, we buy them by the bags — they are always on the grocery list until the stores no longer carry them.
I recently was sent a Zoku Triple Quick Pop Maker so guess what I had to make? My Quick & Easy Creamy Orange Popsicle Recipe, of course! Usually, I make a variation of this recipe in my ice cream maker but it turns out it’s just as awesome as a popsicle. SCORE!
The Zoku Quick Pop Maker is super easy to use. To me, it’s very similar to using a homemade ice cream maker.
The ice cream maker I have has a freezer bowl containing cooling liquid between a double insulated wall. This is what creates a quick and even freezing.
My Zoku Quick Pop Maker seems to use a similar technology—making things freeze very quickly!
Nothing is more annoying than waiting for something to freeze. Especially if you’re waiting with whining kiddos, asking “Is it done yet?” every 5 seconds.
Thankfully, that’s a thing of the past with this pop maker!
Before using the Zoku Pop Maker it needs to be kept in the freezer for at least 24 hours. Once that’s done—it’s smooth sailing from there on out.
For a fun twist, we made a flavored core pop using the Zoku Triple Quick Pop Maker.
Once everything is ready to go, pour orange juice in the mold and wait until you see the outer shell freeze. Then quickly remove the unfrozen liquid using a straw or siphon and pour in the orange/cream mixture letting it freeze completely.
Voilà—an extra orangey Creamy Orange Popsicle!
Then you simply use the included Zoku Super Tool to remove your Creamy Orange Popsicle. It loosens the popsicle so they can easily be removed without any hot water!
You can even attach a drop guard for those extra messy people—like my children.
Okay, myself included 😉
This Zoku Triple Quick Pop Maker can make 3 batches of three popsicles—so 9 total. My Quick & Easy Creamy Orange Popsicle Recipe should make around that much!
My only complaint is that the Zoku only comes with 6 popsicle sticks rather than 9.
If you are a little short on the orange and cream mixture when you get to the last mold, add some extra milk or orange juice. It’ll do the trick!
Skip the wait and start freezing a batch of these DELICIOUS Creamy Orange Popsicle treats (in your Zoku Triple Quick Pop Maker) today! AND get your orange on

Homemade popsicles are the best because you control the ingredients.
That’s very true Kathy
My granddaughters would really like these.
Bet they would LeAnn ❤️
These look so refreshing I would make these in the summer after being outside. I really love the recipe looks very easy.
Orange cream is a summer classic! Be sure to let us know how they turn out. 🙂

I know your grandchildren would love it, Dorothy!
I love making homeade popsicles for my daughters. I have never made creamsicles before though. This looks like such a great idea. It reminds me of the orange creamsicles I used to eat as a child, but these are much healthier and natural.
What’s your favorite kind of popsicle to make? Do you have a recipe?
Yum, these popsicles sound delicious! Orange cream is such a classic Summer flavor, my kids are definitely going to love these. 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!
This popsicle maker is amazing too! We’ve been using it so much lately 🙂
These look so good!
