Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 navel orange, washed and dried
- 1-1/2 cups (360 grams) vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Instructions
- Using a rasp grater, remove the zest from the orange and add to the base of a blender. Using a sharp knife, cut off the peel of the orange and discard. Remove any seeds from the orange. Place the seeded orange segments in the blender.
- Add the yogurt, heavy cream, sugar, marmalade, vanilla, and salt to the blender and blend until smooth.
- Divide the orange yogurt base evenly among the popsicle molds.
- Add the covers and popsicle sticks to the molds.
- Freeze overnight until solid.
- To loosen the popsicles from their molds, either run them under warm running water for 10 to 15 seconds, or dip them in a bowl of warm water for the same period of time and gently pull on the sticks to release.
- Wrap each popsicle individually in parchment paper, then place them in an airtight container or a freezer-safe bag. Freeze until solid, 30 to 60 minutes.
Notes
This recipe makes enough for 10 (3-ounce) popsicles, but the quantity can vary depending on the size and shape of the popsicle mold.
For a less sweet popsicle, use unsweetened Greek yogurt
This recipe was tested using Diamond Crystal coarse kosher salt. If you use Morton's kosher salt or fine salt, decrease the volume by half.
