Notes
- To make the stripes as seen in some of these photos: Start by preparing the creamsicle mixture as directed in the recipe and place in the fridge to chill.To make striped creamsicles, you will need an additional ½ cup of orange juice. Next, add 1 tablespoon orange juice to popsicle molds and freeze for 20 minutes. Remove creamsicle mixture from the fridge and stir. Add 2 tablespoons creamsicle mixture to each popsicle mold, freeze for 20 minutes. Repeat twice, alternating between plain orange juice and creamsicle mixture, chilling creamsicle mixture and orange juice in the fridge between freezings
- To break graham crackers into small pieces, place the graham crackers in a sealed ziplock bag, with as much air removed as possible. Take a rolling pin or mallet (flat side only) and gently pound on the graham crackers to break into pieces
- The orange juice can be substituted for orange juice concentrate. Follow package directions to mix and use in the recipe as directed - Browned butter is super easy to make, however, if you are short on time, feel free to substitute with melted unsalted butter in the graham cracker topping
- Did you know popsicle sticks can be reused? Simply wash with warm soapy water, rinse well and allow to air dry
