Summertime is almost over and school is about to start (thank God), but I am going to miss the heat! Especially for desserts like homemade orange popsicles. They are the perfect past time dessert that remind me of everything great about my child hood summers! Pools, slip and slides, ghost in the graveyard and those hot summer nights eating one of these popsicles. Growing up in the 80's and 90's was the best!
Creamy, tart, sweet and running down your arm is the only way to eat these orange popsicles. If you aren't sticky, you are not eating them right! My kids have it down pat!
My inspiration for this dessert actually came from my recent Farmer's market cookie called the Orange popsicle. It's flavor can be made in to any dessert and it turns out amazing.
