Cantaloupe and Orange Treats

Try a new flavor of yummy freezer treat for the whole family

 

 

• 1 cantaloupe , peeled and seeded
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups fresh orange or tangerine juice
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions

In a food processor fitted with a knife blade, combine cantaloupe and sugar. Pulse until pureed and sugar is dissolved. Strain pulp through a medium-mesh strainer set over a medium bowl; discard solids. (Alternatively, run cantaloupe through a juicer; add sugar and stir until dissolved.)

Add orange juice to cantaloupe juice. Add cream and stir until combined. Pour into ice pop molds, freezer-safe cups, or paper cups. Freeze about 1 hour.

Remove from freezer and with a small spoon, stir each pop. Insert ice pop sticks about 3/4 of the way into each mold. Freeze at least 4 more hours, or overnight. Unmold and serve at once.
