lime creamsicles
Today is kind of a big deal.
Not only is it my husband’s and my fifth wedding anniversary (INSANE), but it’s also the day I introduce you to these lime creamsicles. Oh, hello frozen creations of glorious deliciousness on a stick. Nice to meet you.
Neither of these things have anything to do with each other — though I guess I could swing it and say I made these pops for my husband in celebration of our love? But really, I made them because of Popsicle Week. Priorities. (Love you, babe!)
I really don’t think you had forgotten about the inaugural Popsicle Week, for which I made these pretty Paloma pops, but in case it somehow tragically slipped your mind, here’s a handy list of 2013’s recipes (scroll to the bottom to see!) as well as a running list of this year’s fantastical frozen foods on a stick. There are 37 of them this year, in case you can’t count. THIRTY-SEVEN. So much goodness for your faceness.
That means you can — and I will — have a new popsicle for basically every day of the summer. OK, OK… like half of the summer. Summertime forever! (Hope you heard me, Minnesota.)
Now about these lime creamsicles. They’re made with three simple things: Lime juice (from a whole lotta limes), milk and sweetened condensed milk, ZOMG. It’s amazing how just a few ingredients, when combined and then frozen, yield such a tasty treat. They’re creamy; they’re sweet; they’re tart; they win hearts and make dreams come true. It’s science.
And because these pops are so magical, they’ll definitely be perfect as our anniversary dinner tonight! (JOKES, you guys. It’ll probably be Chipotle. With these for dessert, natch.)
Thanks so much to Billy of Wit & Vinegar for hosting #PopsicleWeek again this year! And don’t forget to head over right quick to the #PopsicleWeek page to see all the other yums bloggers brought to the pops party. Thirty-seven, you guys. My face is so excited.

Lime Creamsicles
Description
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk I used 2%
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice from about 8 to 10 small limes
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Pour milk, lime juice and sweetened condensed milk into a large bowl; stir until well combined.
- Pour mixture into popsicle molds (I use this mold and love it); place a popsicle stick in the center of each mold.
- Cover and freeze at least 8 hours or overnight. To easily remove popsicles from the mold, dip the mold in a bowl or container of warm water for 10 to 15 seconds.

Oh jeez, I think you’ve touched on everything I love in life with these pops—making immediately!
Your creamsicles look amazing! Lime would make such a better creamsicle flavor than orange. (I’m a lime lover.) I’d like to your creamsicles in a popsicle roundup I’m preparing for my website, One Creative Mommy. Would that be okay? (It will go live on Monday.)
Heidi — Of course you can add them; thanks for asking! (and I agree, lime > orange ;))

I tried twice to make these popsicles.
Utter failures.
How do you keep the condensed milk from curdling the INSTANT you mix in the lime juice?
Nedalin Malle — I’m so sorry to hear that! I never had that problem, so unfortunately, I’m not sure how to help you. Are you using fresh lime juice as opposed to the bottled version? Maybe that’s the difference? I’m sorry, I wish I could help!
No, i used fresh lime juice. So that’s not it.
Maybe i should try finding a more processed condensed milk …

I’m making these with Sweetened condensed coconut milk and whole milk ( did not have coconut milk or I would have used it). I can’t wait to see how these turn out! I love that there are few ingredients. Thanks for the recipe!

I just found this page through Kate’s “TheSmallThingsBlog” and I can’t wait to try making these limesicles with my son! And what a coincidence… June 26 is also mine and my husband’s anniversary too! This year will be 6 years for us. Happy weekend 🙂
