    • Peach and Cream Popsicles

    ❤️ Why you’ll love it

    I am absolutely in love with these peach and cream popsicles. They are the quickest summer desserts you can make, and they are an instant hit with anyone who tries them.

    The distinct layers of peaches and cream not only look beautiful but also offer a delicious, fruity flavor. What I love most about these popsicles is that they are lighter than other ice pops. The secret is in the creamy, not icy, dairy-free milk pudding that makes them a true treat.

    Plus, the use of fresh, ripe peaches in this recipe gives the popsicles a natural sweetness and a lovely, vibrant color. Believe me, once you try these, you will never go back to store-bought popsicles.

    🧾 Key ingredients

    These peach popsicles are a delicious and healthy treat that is simple to make. The best part about this recipe is that you can easily find all the ingredients at your local grocery store.

    Fresh peaches are the star of this recipe. I used classic yellow peaches, but you can also try yellow nectarines for a slightly different flavor. White peaches or donut peaches are also a great choice. They may not have such a distinct color, but they will be equally delicious.

    Lemon juice is the perfect complement to the sweet peaches. It adds a hint of tartness that balances the flavor of the popsicles. You can use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.

    Milk pudding gives the popsicles a smooth, creamy texture.

    🥘 Equipment

    To make these delicious peach popsicles, the most important piece of equipment you will need is a good quality popsicle mold. I recommend one with a sturdy base and well-designed, easy-to-remove molds. This will ensure your popsicles come out perfectly shaped and with minimal effort when it’s time to unmold them.

    👩‍🍳 Instructions

    Preparing the ingredients

    STEP 1
    In a small bowl, make a slurry by combining the cornstarch with three tablespoons of almond milk. Set this aside for later use.

    STEP 2
    Next, wash and dry the peaches. If you are using yellow peaches with a fluffy peel, peel the skin off. If you are using nectarines, leave the peel on. Cut the peaches or nectarines into slices.

    Making the peach popsicles

    STEP 1
    Place the peach or nectarine slices and lemon juice in a blender. Pulse them until you have a smooth puree. If the puree is too thick, add a small amount of water, about one to two tablespoons, to thin it out.

    STEP 2
    Start by making the milk pudding for the popsicles. In a saucepan, heat the remaining almond milk and sugar over medium heat. Stir this mixture regularly to prevent it from simmering or boiling.

    STEP 3
    Once the milk and sugar mixture is hot, add the slurry (cornstarch and almond milk mixture) to it. Stir this constantly as you add it to the hot milk.

    STEP 4
    Reduce the heat and continue stirring the mixture until it thickens. To test if it is ready, drag a spatula through the middle of the mixture. If it takes about a second for the milk to fill back in, it is ready.

    STEP 5
    Remove it from the heat and cover it with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap to the surface to avoid a skin from forming on the top. Set this aside to cool.

    STEP 6
    While the milk pudding is cooling, pour two tablespoons of the peach puree into the base of each popsicle mold.

    STEP 7
    Then, add two tablespoons of the cooled milk pudding on top of the peach puree in each mold.

    STEP 8
    Continue layer the popsicles with alternating layers of peach puree and milk pudding, leaving a little bit of room for expansion at the top of each mold. Tap the mold on the table to remove any air bubbles.

    Place the cover on the popsicle mold, if it has one. Insert a stick into the center of each mold, leaving about 1.5 inches to stick out of the puree.

    STEP 10
    Freeze the popsicles for at least eight hours. When they are ready to unmold, fill a pan with hot water. Place the tips of the popsicle mold in the hot water for 10 seconds. Pull them out using the end of the sticks.

    💡 Expert tip

    For an extra smooth texture and bright color for your peach popsicles, consider blanching and peeling your peaches before using them. Simply place the whole peaches in boiling water for about 10 seconds, then transfer them to a bowl of ice water. The skins will slide off easily, leaving you with a vibrant, yellow puree for your popsicles.

    🔄 Variations

    Try using frozen peaches instead of fresh ones. This will not only save you time on peeling and slicing but will also give your popsicles a thicker, frostier texture.

    If you are a fan of different fruit flavors, consider incorporating other fruits into the puree. Mangoes, strawberries, or raspberries would work well and add a twist to the recipe.

    Consider adding a hint of almond extract to the peach puree. The nutty flavor of the almond extract pairs beautifully with the sweet, juicy peaches. Just a teaspoon should do the trick.

    You can also add a little ground cinnamon to the puree. This will give your popsicles a warm, earthy flavor that complements the sweetness of the peaches. Just remember, a little goes a long way.

    🥣 Serving ideas

    These peach popsicles are a perfect treat for a hot summer day. They are not only delicious but also healthy and refreshing. I love to enjoy them as a post-dinner dessert.

    They are also great for kids. My children love them, and they are a much healthier alternative to store-bought ice cream. They make a great snack for school lunches or after-school treats.

    You can also serve them at a barbecue or a pool party. They are a hit with both kids and adults. You can even set up a popsicle bar with different flavors and toppings for a fun and delicious summer treat.

    ❄️ Storing tips

    Storing these peach popsicles is a simple process that ensures you can enjoy them for a longer time.

    To store them, you will want to make sure they are completely frozen. Once they are frozen, you can either store them individually in sealed plastic bags or wrapped in plastic wrap. I recommend storing them individually, so they do not stick together.

    You can even freeze them for up to 1 month and enjoy them whenever it is a hot summer day.

    🤔 FAQs

    Can you use frozen peaches?

    Yes, you can use frozen peaches if fresh ones are not available. Just make sure to thaw them before pureeing them. And if the frozen peaches are not sweet enough, you can add a little bit of sugar to the puree.

    Why do you need to add a layer of milk pudding?

    Adding a layer of milk pudding not only gives the popsicles a creamy texture but also helps to hold the layers of peach puree in place. This ensures that you get beautiful, distinct layers in your popsicles.

    Do you have to use almond milk?

    No, you can use any dairy-free milk of your choice. I prefer almond milk because it has a neutral flavor that does not overpower the peaches. However, feel free to use oat milk, soy milk, or any other milk alternative.

    Why do you need to freeze the popsicles for at least 8 hours?

    Freezing the popsicles for at least 8 hours ensures that they are completely frozen and have the right texture. If you try to unmold them too early, they may not hold their shape.

    Do you have to use popsicle molds?

    While popsicle molds are the easiest way to make popsicles, you can also use small paper cups. Just fill the cups with the peach puree and milk pudding, cover them with aluminum foil, and insert a popsicle stick through the foil.
