Method

  1. In a small saucepan, combine Almond Breeze, sugar, cornstarch, coconut oil, and extract. Use a whisk to mix them together.

  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking frequently.

  3. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Stir it frequently during this time.

  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool. Stir it occasionally while it cools.

  5. Transfer about 2/3 of the mixture to a separate bowl. Add orange juice concentrate to this portion and stir well.

  6. Combine the mixture from both bowls together and gently swirl them.

  7. Spoon the mixture into ice cream pop molds and insert a handle or stick into each one.

  8. Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze overnight.

  9. If you are using popsicle sticks, tightly cover each mold with foil. Make a small slit in each foil cover and insert the sticks.

  10. If desired, you can substitute butter for the coconut oil.
