What Goes Into Creamy Peach Popsicles

The ingredients for Creamy Peach Popsicles are simple yet essential for achieving that perfect creamy texture and fruity flavor. Fresh or frozen peaches serve as the star of the show, bringing natural sweetness and vibrant color. The combination of whipping cream and whole milk creates a rich base, while the cornstarch helps to maintain the creamy consistency. Each ingredient plays a vital role, ensuring that every bite is as delicious as the last.

• Sliced peaches: 3 cups of fresh or frozen peaches will provide the fruity essence of these popsicles. Choose ripe peaches for the best flavor.
• Whipping cream: 1 and ¼ cups add a rich creaminess that makes these popsicles indulgent. For a dairy-free option, you can substitute it with coconut cream.
• Whole milk: ½ cup contributes to the smooth texture and balances the richness of the cream. You can easily use almond milk for a dairy-free alternative.
• Sugar or favorite sweetener: Use 3 to 4 tablespoons to enhance the natural sweetness of the peaches. Adjust according to your taste preference.
• Vanilla: 1 teaspoon of vanilla adds a lovely aroma and flavor depth that rounds out the popsicle mix.
• Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon helps to maintain a creamy texture and prevents crystallization in the popsicles.

Recipe Steps for Creamy Peach Popsicles

Making Creamy Peach Popsicles is a straightforward process that anyone can master. You’ll love how easy it is to create your own summer treat with just a blender and some molds. Follow along with these simple steps, and soon you’ll have your own delicious popsicles ready to enjoy.

1. Start by gathering all your ingredients: sliced peaches, whipping cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla, and cornstarch. Make sure your peaches are ripe for the best flavor.
2. In a blender, combine all the ingredients. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed to ensure everything is well combined.
3. If you find the mixture too thick, add a bit more whole milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired pourable consistency. You want it to be smooth but not too runny.
4. Take your popsicle molds and pour the mixture evenly into each cavity. Use a funnel if necessary to make this step less messy. This will help you avoid spills and get a clean fill.
5. Once filled, place the molds in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for about 4 to 6 hours. You can leave them overnight if you wish to make sure they are thoroughly frozen.
6. To remove the popsicles from their molds, run a little warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds. This helps to loosen the popsicles without breaking them.
7. Enjoy your homemade Creamy Peach Popsicles immediately! They’re perfect for a hot day or any time you need a sweet, refreshing snack.
8. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. They should keep well for up to a month, but they’re so good, I doubt they’ll last that long!

Notes

Tip 1: To keep your peach popsicles from turning out icy, add cornstarch. This will help keep the pops from becoming super icy and help them stay creamy.

Tip 2: Use a funnel to fill your popsicle molds. This was a game changer for me. My most recent set came with one and I will never make my frozen treats the same again.

Tip 3: Serving sizes will vary. Popsicle molds come in all shapes and sizes. I typically get 8-10 popsicles based on whether I use frozen or fresh peaches.

Tip 4: For a stronger orange color, you can add a touch of food coloring. The white of the milk and the peaches mix to make a pale pastel orange.
