TEQUILA SUNRISE FREEZER POPS
If you grew up in the 1990s and remember Push Pops, then this dessert will definitely hit home. I'm giving one of my favorite childhood treats an adult twist. The recipe includes an orange tequila semifreddo and a grenadine jelly set with gelatin. And of course, each frozen pop has the hue of a traditional tequila sunrise cocktail.

Steps:
- Prepare 7 push-up pop molds by placing a Styrofoam block or blocks on a small baking tray. Insert 7 pop molds into the Styrofoam. Set aside.
- For the grenadine jelly: Combine the grenadine and cold water in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Sprinkle the gelatin over top and allow it to bloom for 5 minutes. Slowly melt the gelatin by microwaving it in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until just smooth and dissolved. Refrigerate while you prepare the semifreddo.
- For the orange tequila semifreddo: Whip the cream to soft peaks with a whisk. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Combine the softened cream cheese and orange zest in a medium bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula until smooth. Mix in the confectioners' sugar. Whisk in the orange juice and tequila. Whisk in the pasteurized egg yolks. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer.
- Remove the whipped cream and grenadine gelatin from the refrigerator.
- Fold the strained orange mixture into the whipped cream. Fill each mold 3/4 full with the orange semifreddo.
- Gently pour the grenadine mixture into each mold, filling each to the top. The grenadine mixture will take a few minutes to settle to the bottom. Once it has, take a long bamboo skewer or chopstick and gently stir it. Place the molds into the freezer until frozen, at least 3 hours.
TEQUILA SUNRISE ICE POPS

TEQUILA SUNRISE POPS

Tips:
- Chill your ingredients: Before you start making your Tequila Sunrise Pops, make sure your tequila, orange juice, and lime juice are all chilled. This will help the pops freeze more quickly and evenly.
- Use fresh fruit: For the best flavor, use fresh oranges and limes. If you don't have fresh fruit on hand, you can use frozen fruit, but thaw it completely before using it.
- Add a splash of grenadine: Grenadine is what gives Tequila Sunrise Pops their signature red color. You can add as much or as little grenadine as you like, depending on how sweet you want the pops to be.
- Freeze the pops for at least 4 hours: Once you've assembled your pops, freeze them for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will give them time to freeze solid.
