"CANDY CORN" FROZEN CITRUS CREAM POPS



Candy corn may be synonymous with Halloween, but come on, how many of us really love the chewy little tooth-shaped candies with a flavor that is indistinguishable beyond sweet? However, if you borrow their iconic shape and colors and transform those into creamy lemon-and-orange frozen pops, we predict everyone will be clamoring for their fair share.

Provided by Gina Marie Miraglia Eriquez

Yield Makes 12 (3-ounce) frozen pops

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon zest
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 juicy lemons), divided
36 drops yellow food coloring, divided (see Cooks' Notes)
1 teaspoon grated fresh orange zest
1/4 cup fresh orange juice (from two small oranges)
9 drops red food coloring (see Cooks' Notes)
1 cup chilled heavy cream
Special equpment: 12 (3-ounce) frozen pop molds; 12 wooden frozen pop sticks, if using molds that require them

Steps:

  • Put one can of milk in each of 2 bowls, then whisk lemon zest, 1/3 cup lemon juice, and 18 drops yellow food coloring into one bowl.
  • Whisk orange zest, orange juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and remaining 18 drops yellow and 9 drops red food coloring into second bowl.
  • Beat cream in another bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks, then gently fold half of cream into each condensed milk mixture.
  • Divide orange mixture among the molds, about 2 1/2 tablespoons per mold, then freeze until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Divide lemon mixture among molds, about 2 1/2 tablespoons per mold.
  • Place cover on molds and insert sticks, making sure they are straight (important for removing top when unmolding). Freeze until completely firm, at least 8 hours.
  • If using a multiple-pop mold, partially submerge up to 1/4 inch from top of mold in a large bowl or sink of room-temperature water for 30 seconds. Remove mold from water, then remove cover and pull out pops.
  • If using individual molds, run hot water over them for about 5 seconds, then let stand 30 seconds and remove cover.
  • In either case, serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh citrus fruits: Fresh citrus fruits will give your ice pops the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic citrus fruits, as they will be free of pesticides and other chemicals.
  • Add other fruits or herbs: You can add other fruits or herbs to your ice pops for extra flavor. Some good options include berries, melon, mint, and basil.
  • Sweeten to taste: If you find that your ice pops are too tart, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey to taste. However, be careful not to add too much, as you don't want your ice pops to be too sweet.
  • Freeze for at least 4 hours: Before you enjoy your ice pops, you need to freeze them for at least 4 hours. This will ensure that they are firm and have a good texture.
  • Store for up to 2 weeks: Citrus ice pops can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. However, it is best to enjoy them within a few days of making them.

Conclusion:

Citrus ice pops are a refreshing and delicious way to cool down on a hot day. They are also a healthy snack that is packed with vitamins and minerals. With so many different flavor combinations to choose from, there is sure to be a citrus ice pop that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a cool treat, reach for a citrus ice pop!
