I froze these all summer long for my kids and DH and I. When I ran out of my plastic molds I either used paper cups and popsicle sticks or froze them in ice cube trays, then just wrapped them in a paper towel to hand to the kids or let them eat them in a bowl. Either way they were happy! Great flavor and so refreshing when it's hot and sticky out!

OMG these are so good. When I started to make them I discovered that I was out of heavy cream so I used half and half for the cream and milk. I can't even imagine how delicious they'll be when I get more heavy cream! I only had one small 4 popsicle mold and had to reduce the recipe. I'll be on the lookout for more molds now.

Yummo! Boy are these good. I used the heavy cream with skim milk and used almond extract instead of vanilla.....oh, my. So good!
