Description
Cool summer days welcome Peaches & Cream Popsicles with creamy sweetness and fresh fruit charm. Smooth homemade goodness brings refreshing delight when you crave something special.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 peaches (medium-large)
- 1 cup milk or cream (240 ml / 8 fl oz)
- ½ cup orange juice (120 ml / 4 fl oz)
- ¼ cup white sugar (50 g / 1.8 oz)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (2.5 ml / 0.08 fl oz)
Instructions
- Preparation: Cleanse peaches under cold running water. Halve the fruit and extract pits while preserving the skin for enhanced visual appeal and textural dimension.
- Blending: Combine peaches with milk, cream, orange juice, sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender. Puree the ingredients at high velocity until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency that flows seamlessly.
- Molding: Distribute the liquid mixture into pristine popsicle molds, reserving minimal headspace to prevent potential freezing overflow. Position popsicle sticks centrally, ensuring vertical stability and balanced placement.
- Freezing: Situate molds horizontally in the freezer, allowing complete solidification. Anticipate a freezing duration of 4-6 hours or preferably overnight for optimal texture and structural integrity.
- Serving: Liberate popsicles from molds by momentarily exposing them to warm water, facilitating smooth extraction. For extended storage, individually encase each popsicle in plastic wrap and return to the freezer to preserve freshness and prevent crystallization.
Notes
- Choose Ripe Peaches: Select perfectly ripe, fragrant peaches with soft, yielding skin for maximum sweetness and robust flavor in your popsicles.
- Prevent Ice Crystals: Blend ingredients thoroughly and avoid excess water to ensure a creamy, smooth texture without unwanted ice formations.
- Stick Placement Matters: Position popsicle sticks precisely in the center of each mold to guarantee even freezing and easy removal.
- Storage Tips: Wrap individual popsicles in plastic wrap after initial freezing to preserve taste and prevent freezer burn, maintaining fresh flavor for up to one week.
