Pineapple-Orange Sherbet Popsicles
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Pineapple-Orange Sherbet Popsicles are my recipe of the day with Summer Dessert Week. I am doing two recipes- this one and the blackberry dumplings I posted on Monday.
Sherbet pops (or popsicles, if you will) are sometimes referred to as sherbert, or sorbet (although that is usually something different).
These pineapple-orange pops stir up with gelatin and half/half very quickly, then poured into the molds.
I used a silicone push-up popsicle mold with these, although I have others which are more standard and sometimes use those. Push come to shove and you don’t have molds, don’t be afraid to use ice cube trays or place in a tub and scoop up like an ice cream.
These show the push up molds I use, which are pointed on the bottom. I find they work best placed in a tumbler to fill.
You then stir up your pineapple orange sherbet popsicle mixture, which is as simple as stirring up jello. Anyone can handle it.
After you pour in the mix, they have caps to put on. Be sure to leave a little headspace because frozen stuff expands. And while the caps seem snug enough, I wouldn’t want it spilling all over the freezer (and don’t want to freeze my acrylic tumblers either) so I propped them up in one of those freezer jam boxes. I think you can freeze those rubbermaid/tupperware squares as well.
Of course once they are frozen you can store them in a gallon freezer ziploc to help keep freezer odors out.
These are fantastic for the kids and grandkids and maybe some of of the old-timers too. My mother would have loved these, especially today, which was her birthday.
Don’t forget to browse the rest of the recipes below. Pin the ones you like to save for later. There are so many, you won’t have time to make them all right away!
