We don’t do a lot of fruit in the Bejelly household due to watching our sugar intake. My son tried his first orange a month ago – yes, my 23-month-old son just ate an orange. Anyhow, he went gaga over it. I bought a bag of oranges for him thinking he would eat them in a week but he ate one and then was done with it. I’ve had 6 oranges sitting lonesome in my fridge and since I’m on a Popsicle kick, I figured I put a couple to go use.
This Orange Creamsicle Popsicle recipe is super simple and so crazy good. You might notice that they’re not neon orange and more of a soft buttery yellow. I didn’t want to mess with using turmeric to deepen the color because the flavor was spot on and I was afraid the turmeric would give it a hint of taste and mess everything up.
Ingredients
- 3 cups boiling water
- 1 1/2 cup coconut shreds
- 1 1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice 3 medium oranges
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a blender add your coconut shreds and boiling water. Blend for 1 minute.
- Strain through a nut milk bag and you will get 2 cups of coconut milk.
- Clean out your blender and add the coconut milk, orange juice, orange zest, salt and vanilla and blend for 1 minute.
- Pour into your Popsicle molds and freeze for 3 hours.
- Enjoy!

Thanks! Health is moderation.
Yummy! 🙂
Coconut and orange??? Yes please! I have to make these.
Yay love that it doesn’t have dairy. Going to try this for baby once she passes all the other things that are questionable for her tummy.
Thank you so much, Kelly, for sharing these creamsicle recipes. I’m going to make these, a lot, this summer!
Orange and coconut is pretty much a match made in heaven.
This is awesome!
Orange creamsicle is my favorite flavor popsicle. I’ll definitely be making these!
I totally love creamsicles! I have to try this!
Orange zest and coconut? Yum! My daughter has been strapped for ideas on what popsicles to make so I’ll pass this along to her 🙂
My husband would love these!
I like the buttery color myself 🙂
You totally cannot go wrong with coconut and orange. Yummy!
I love creamsicles.
My girls would probably love these. I’m always making them homemade popsicles.
These look super simple to make. Thanks for sharing.
I like how they are shaped too. Pretty!
Creamsicles are a lifelong favorite of mine and we all can not seem to get enough this summer. I can’t wait to make my own!
My kids would definitely love these!
I bet these are awesome…I love shredded coconut.
Mmmm these sound delicious and so refreshing
Oh man, these look delicious! Would have been the perfect day to eat them too, it was almost 100 degrees here.
Ooh these look awesome! I need to make these for my dad, he loves Creamsicles.
Love them! I love your photos of them too you are so talented with your photos.
I love that you used coconut in these. What an amazing combination of ingredients!
These (and your strawberry pops) look soooo good, Kelly. I haven’t used my molds yet this season and need to get to some ice-cream treats. like this!
Thanks 🙂 I just bought some and was like, why on earth didn’t I buy some sooner! So easy!
Creamsicles are my favourite! These ones look fantastic.
Those looks awesome!
They look fantastic! Wish you would move next door to me so I could sample your goodies.
Girl, you made a popsicle look exotic and luxurious!
Jen, Thanks 🙂 I had issues with these photos as they did not come out how I picture it. I will admit I giggled at your comment, particularly the “Girl” part.
I have a ton of coconut shreds! We will have to try this!
I love all your popsicle recipes lately. These look so refreshing!
I loved these as a kid, totally forgot about them! I actually would love to try making them myself 🙂
Orange creamsicles are my FAVORITE cold treat! I never thought of making them myself! Thanks for the recipe!
YUM! I love coconut and citrus together.
Orange cream is one of my husband’s favorites – he’d love this! Is tumeric typically what is used to naturally color ‘orange’ food?
Good call on not using the turmeric. I actually really like the pretty pale color.
I would kill for these. I’m the only one in the family who loves coconut but that would just mean more for me!
Thanks for posting this recipe. We have been on GAPS Diet (my 8 year old and myself for 19 months and trying to keep food new and interesting can be a challenge, and we also are limiting fruit and honey). Heading into spring/summer around here and I’ve been on a popsicle kick. A few weeks ago I made my own concoction of lemon/coconut popsicles a few weeks ago. The most recent batch was a mommypotamus recipe for a fudge pudding pop that had gelatin and avocado. Last night I was trying to decide what would be our next popsicle flavor, and I came up with “orange creamsicle”. Can’t wait to give these a try in the next day or two. Thanks for also posting approximately many oranges to use.
You are welcome Nancy and I hope you both enjoy it!
Why the salt? I made these and they were so salty I threw them all away. I’ll try again sans salt, though.
Hrm . . I’ve never had an issue with 1/4 teaspoon of salt hun. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you.
