Ingredients
  

ORANGE & ROSEMARY CREAMSICLES
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary plus 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped rosemary leaves
  • 1 1/2 cups orange segments, seeds and pith removed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
SALTY CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE
  • 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate, chopped or as chips
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons raw coconut oil
  • 2 pinches sea salt
CREAMSICLE TOPPINGS
  • flaky sea salt
  • fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
  • orange zest

Method
 

MAKE THE CREAMSICLES
  1. Place the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the sprigs of rosemary and stir as the honey softens. Bring to a simmer, and then remove from the heat. Let sit for at least 30 minutes (and up to 2 hours, for a stronger rosemary flavor), then remove the rosemary sprigs.
  2. In a blender or food processor, puree the orange segments, rosemary leaves, rosemary infused honey, heavy cream, and yogurt.
  3. Pour into popsicle molds until the mixture reaches 1/4 inch from the top. Cover the molds and add popsicle sticks, per your mold's specifications. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
MAKE THE DRIZZLE
  1. When the creamsicles are frozen, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl nestled into a pot of boiling water. Stir in the oil and the salt, and whisk until fully combined.
GARNISH THE POPS
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill a small, widemouthed glass with chocolate drizzle. Set the salt, finely chopped rosemary, and orange zest nearby.
  2. Remove the creamsicles from their molds by running the molds under hot water while pulling upward on the sticks. Place the creamsicles on the baking sheet, drizzle with chocolate (or dip for greater coverage), and sprinkle with the desired toppings.
  3. Return to the freezer. Let freeze for at least 10 minutes, then eat as desired!
