Ripe summer peaches are wonderful in everything from shortcakes to smoothies, and they shine in these peaches-and-cream popsicles. Whether you use fresh or frozen fruit, the result is a smooth, refreshing frozen snack that’s easy to make at home.
Why you’ll love these creamy peach popsicles
- You can make them in minutes. Just blend, pour into molds and freeze — total hands-on time is about five to ten minutes.
- Creamy and refreshing. The peaches and cream combination is light, fruity and satisfying on a warm day.
- Easy to make dairy-free. Swap coconut cream and a plant milk for the dairy ingredients for a tasty dairy-free version.
Peaches and cream popsicle ingredients
- Peaches: Fresh or frozen will work. Use ripe peaches for the sweetest flavor. If using frozen peaches, let them thaw slightly or add extra milk so the mixture isn’t too thick to pour.
- Whipping cream: For dairy-free, use coconut cream.
- Milk: Whole milk yields the creamiest texture, but any milk or plant milk works. A little milk helps the mixture pour into molds more easily.
- Vanilla: A teaspoon adds balanced flavor.
- Sweetener: Adjust to taste. Use sugar, maple syrup or honey as you prefer.
- Cornstarch: Helps reduce iciness and keeps the popsicles creamier; omit if needed but expect a slightly icier texture.
How to make these popsicles
Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. If the mixture is too thick to pour, add milk a tablespoon at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency. For fruit chunks, reserve some diced peaches and fold or pulse them in briefly so they stay in small pieces.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds using a funnel for neat filling. If you like, top each mold with a few diced peaches for extra texture and color. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully frozen, then remove from molds and enjoy.
Recipe tips
- Prevent iciness with cornstarch. Stir in a tablespoon of cornstarch to keep the texture creamy and smooth.
- Use a funnel to fill molds. A funnel makes filling molds clean and easy, especially if you tend to spill when pouring.
- Serving yield varies. Popsicle molds come in many sizes; expect about 8–10 popsicles depending on your mold and whether you use fresh or frozen peaches.
- Adjust color if desired. The mixture usually makes a pale pastel orange; add a drop or two of orange food coloring for a brighter hue if you wish.
Can you make these peach popsicles dairy-free?
Yes. Replace the whipping cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free milk such as almond or oat milk in place of whole milk. The popsicles will remain creamy and flavorful without dairy.
