Being a child of the 80’s, Flinstone’s Push-Ups were a prevalent part of my upbringing. There is just something so nostalgic about the flavors or orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream that can’t be beat. With it being the middle of summer and so hot and playing outside being one of the only things we can do right now, I just want to share the love of a classic dreamsicle with my own kids. Since I got my popsicle mold, I am always looking for new fun popsicle recipes, so why not throw it back to the old school and make homemade dreamsicles!

Recipe:
STEP 1: Scoop Sherbet & Vanilla ice cream into a piping bag or large ziplock, alternating scoops. Massage the bag to combine the two.
STEP 3: Pipe ice cream among the 10 popsicle molds (about 2-3 tablespoons each).
STEP 4: In a spouted bowl, add orange juice, heavy cream and simple syrup and stir to combine.
SIDE NOTE: To make simple syrup, combine equal parts water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and turns clear. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
STEP 5: Pour orange juice mixture into each mold letting liquid fill in any empty spaces in mold.
STEP 6: Add popsicle sticks and put the popsicles into the freezer for at least 8 hours.
