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.

Could you use coconut milk instead of cream to make dairy free? Thanks for you Great recipes.
Yes. Enjoy!
I loved these! I just got my silicone molds earlier this week. I got them specifically to make these gummies. They sure fulfill that craving for a chewy candy. Thanks for sharing!
YUM! My daughter and I just made these. I just ordered the molds for us and this was our first try at gummies. They aren’t even set yet and they’re a hit. I’m curious how these do if packed for snacks at school. Probably a morning snack, but have you had any experience with packing them in lunches etc? Any tips or advice?
They should be fine for a school snack as long as they are in a lunch box and it isn’t too hot.
Where did you get your gummy molds? Thanks!
Most of them are from Amazon.
How this recipe doesn’t have protein?? The gelatin powder us 80% protein.
I just updated the nutrition facts, they do have protein. That was a typo.
Would the 6 tbsp gelatin also apply to THM Just Gelatin?
THM Gelatin is not as strong as the Knox brand. Here is a great comparison: http://www.briana-thomas.com/the-great-gelatin-comparison/
Thanks so much!
Can I use regular sugar instead of Stevia, Im not a fan of that stuff?.. and how much should i use?… thanks!
I’m not sure. Sorry. I would look for a gummy recipe that uses regular sugar and then add the orange extract and cream to that.
Hiya,
Just wondering why you use 2 different sweeteners in these?
Cheers
Stu
You can just use one of the sweeteners to your taste. I don’t like plain stevia but using it is cheaper than just using gentle sweet.
Did you wrap filled trays in saran?
No, I just pop the gummies out when they are firm and store in a tupperware.
These are so pretty
Light cream… would that be like half and half? or?
It is slightly lighter than heavy cream. You can use half and half or heavy cream in this.
Going to try this out soon. I previously tried a recipe that used Jello and the flavor was too artificial and made me feel sick, so I love that you use orange oil, which is the best! I have the lime/lemon/orange set of oils and I love them. Thanks for the recipe!
They look beautiful!! How should they be stored?
Hi Lori,
You should keep them in the fridge. They last at least a few weeks.
Thanks for visiting 🙂

Love your picture Taryn. Looking awesome and yummy!! <3
Thank you Taryn, ordering some now!
I can not wait to try these! They look delicious. I would love to know where you found you molds? I have looked everywhere for some and can’t seem to find any. I have checked Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and several other places. Thanks in advance, and I love your recipes!!! Thank you for all the hard work and willingness to share!
I got mine from Amazon. It was about $10 for four. Here is a link to the ones I used in my post 🙂 http://amzn.to/241h8pX
