Orange Creamsicle Gummies Recipe
This easy gummies recipe will remind you of those fabulous creamsicle ice pops you ate as a kid. Orange Creamsicle Gummies are easy to make and ready in under an hour.
Orange Creamsicle ice pops remind me of being a kid on a hot summer day. The orange ice outside and vanilla cream inside. I used to eat all the orange off before starting on the vanilla part.
I don’t think my kids have ever had a creamsicle pop because they all pick chocolate anything given the choice but on occasion, I do prefer the orange and vanilla combo over chocolate.
How to Make this Easy Gummies Recipe
Making gummies is very easy! Just dissolve the gelatin and add the other ingredients. Pour into molds and let them set in the fridge. If you’ve ever made a box of Jell-O you can make these.
How long do these gummies take to set?
They set really fast in the fridge. I was taking pictures of them an hour after I started.
Which is better: orange oil or extract?
Orange oil works the best in this but you can use extract if you need to.
How many gummies does this make?
This recipe makes about 45 gummies depending on the size of your molds.

Hi – I have a question on storage. These seem to mold in a couple of days. Any idea how to keep that from happening in a healthy way?
Are you keeping them in the fridge? They shouldn’t get moldy that fast in the refrigerator. Since they have cream they definitely need to be kept chilled.
In Step 1, how do you warm your ingredients?
You can warm them in the microwave or on the stovetop in a small pot.
Hi, I have a question, these look very good by the way.. My question is, what size scoop, would you mean like the one in a protein powder container?
Thank you very much for your reply.

The scoop that comes in stevia is normally 1/32 of a teaspoon. It is very tiny.
Taryn… can you tell me what type of Orange Oil you use? I have orange extract but cannot find any
orange oil that is edible.
Thanks so much – I am LOVING all of your recipes!
Lorann makes one. It is available online or in most cake decorating stores and craft stores with that aisle.
This is embarrassing but for the sake of others like me. 😀 I will say it anyway. I didn’t see anywhere that this was suppose to be warmed in a pot on the stove. I mixed everything in a bowl on the table hoping to whisk it to a warm mixture. I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t more liquified, I definitely couldn’t sieve it. I put it in molds anyway after adding more to no avail. I then decided to watch a video on youtube of how to make gummies. I quickly grabbed everything out and dumped to mold contents into a pot and warmed to a liquid consistency. Whew! I think all is well. I did jump right to the recipe, but I didn’t see any mention of a stove or pot being used.
Yummy! Easy! I bloomed the gelatin in a cup of the cold water plus the orange juice (3 tbsp) for a few minutes before adding to the hot mixture, which worked well with no clumps as long as you sprinkle the gelatin onto the cold water fairly evenly. I used coconut milk for dairy-free and several droppers of vanilla creme liquid stevia in place of the sweetener and vanilla extract. I used probably 20 drops of Young Living citrus essential oil and added the zest of one orange as well.
I’m making this tomorrow and just wondered how much a scoop is for the Stevia? Can’t wait to try it!!
1/32 of a teaspoon
If I wanted to add vitamin c powder or baobab. How much would be ok?
I have not tested this with those but I don’t think they would impact the gummies setting. I’d try a small amount the first time, maybe 1 tablespoon.
I would love to make these for a friend who is GF, SF, and DAIRY FREE – do you think coconut or almond milk would work? How much So Nourished Monk Fruit Erythritol blend would I use, and would I need to use something in addition to that? Thanks for the amazing recipes you produce!
Coconut milk should work. I’d use full fat canned coconut milk. For a monk fruit sweetener you will need 1.5 to 2 times as much.
