Elaine says
Wondering if you could make these dairy free by subbing coconut cream for the heavy cream?
EmilyKrill says
Sure, I would substitute regular full-fat canned coconut milk rather than coconut cream though, because the consistency is closer to heavy whipping cream.
Elaine says
Thanks…I’ll try it 🤞🤞
Stephan says
I've seen some people not wanted to use wooden sticks. Type "popsicle bag" into Amazon and you get bags to make squeeze pops with. Since I don't have room in my freezer for popsicle molds, I'm making this recipe into squeeze pops. May also add a serving of vitamin C powder to each bag.
Patricia says
Migrainers (people who suffer from chronic migraine) should avoid this recipe. Unfortunately Jell-O uses aspartame for a sweetener. Aspartame is a known migraine trigger. I keep looking at Jell-O ingredients hoping that they will eventually change to a different sweetener.
This popsicle recipe sounds really good and I would love to try it! It just isn't a chance I'm willing to take 🙁. I envy those who can.
EmilyKrill says
I wasn’t aware of that,’. Thanks for letting me know. I’m actually working on a recipe that uses unflavored gelatine to simulate Sugar Free Jello. I’ll check back in after I post it.
Martha says
I can’t find a sugar free jello that doesn’t have maxitrol in it, any suggestions?
EmilyKrill says
There isn’t any. You can use Simply Delish brand all natural jel dessert though. You’ll need 1 package of Simply Delish, 1/3 cup cold water, 1 cup boiling water and 1 cup plain yogurt. First you dissolve the Simply Delish powder in 1/3 cup cold water. Then mix in 1 cup boiling water. Leave out at room temperature for 20 minutes until set. Add jelled Simply Delish and yogurt to a blender and blend until smooth. Refrigerate 60 minutes until fully set.
Betty says
What is maxitrol? . Is it bad for you?
EmilyKrill says
An ingredient in eye drops? Not sure what you are referring too.
Martha says
Sorry I meant Maltitol
EmilyKrill says
Ok, Malitol might give you a stomach ache or some gas, but doesn’t have any long term bad effects on your health.
Allison says
OMGosh, These are Awesome! Thank you for the Great Recipe! Our little secret, but I am hiding them so that they won’t be gone right away!!!! 🤣😂🤣

EmilyKrill says
Ha, good thinking.
Mrs.Summers says
Can you link the popsicle mold? 😄
EmilyKrill says
I found it on Amazon, but it is no longer available. There are many similar ones on Amazon though.
valeria j stephens says
I recently purchased some powdered probiotics with a strawberry lemonade flavor which I could not tolerate the taste mixed with water-- soooo- I mixed the probiotic powder in with your dreamcicle recipe and now the taste is wonderful and much easier to get my probiotics down! thanks for your recipe!
EmilyKrill says
What a great idea. Thanks for sharing it.
Janet says
No mention of the vanilla extract in the recipe?
Karla Cooper says
Hello, I made them but it became chunky, I saw you answered that but could it be because the jello was to hot? or the I over mixed? I didn't know how long to mix it for.
Still I will try again.
EmilyKrill says
This is honestly a puzzler for me. The only thing I could think of is that the hot Jello was left too long and gelled. But if you follow the directions as written, then they should work.
Britney says
Will these be too solid if I freeze them for longer than six hours?
EmilyKrill says
You can leave them in the freezer for up to 6 months. If they seem too hard just leave them out to soften as they thaw.
Britney says
Thanks!
Janice says
My husband hates the taste of the wooden sticks. Any ideas on what else could be used in place of them?
EmilyKrill says
Sure, there are lots of styles of popsicle molds with plastic reusable sticks. Here's an example on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Kootek-Popsicle-Molds-Makers-Reusable/dp/B07F2BY85X
EmilyKrill says
Alternatively, you can make a similar Jello recipe as a quick sherbet and eat it with a spoon. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/low-carb-blender-sherbet/
Deb says
Replace wooden spoon with a teaspoon...no waste!
Janice Hyder says
Great idea, thanks!
Bonita says
You’re not suppose to eat the wooden sticks. LOL I’m making mine and will freeze it in a bread pan. Sorry I couldn’t resist the joke.
Janice Hyder says
I will make sure and tell him that, Bonita!! LOL
Vickie says
Oh my wow! ...these are fantastic 🙂 ...I like the orange flavour so I swapped the vanilla extract for orange and still so very good...thank you!!! <3

Double orange, yum.
Donna Wollschleger says
I'm thinking of trying this with Sugar Free chocolate pudding and making fudge pops.
EmilyKrill says
That will work and it will be delicious. I actually wrote a post about that this summer. Easy Pudding Pops. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/low-carb-chocolate-pudding-pops/
Gary E says
Made these for my grandchildren as they were a favourite of mine. They loved them and so do I. A very easy treat to make for Keto. Thank you
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Great! Good to make sugar-free snacks for kids when you can get away with it.
Tammi says
I tried this and the mixture was chunky like spoiled milk. Is it supposed to look like that?
EmilyKrill says
Oh no. That should not have happened. If you were using real orange juice, then it might curdle, but SF Jello shouldn't do that. It could be that you didn't immediately put the dissolved Jello into the blender with the cream and it had time to set up. It could also be that your cream had gone bad. Not sure what else could have happened.
Michele Oakes says
Can you use Greek nonfat plain yogurt in place of the heavy cream? Too much fat in cream
EmilyKrill says
Sure, that'll work.
Terry Cheski says
If you’re looking for a keto friendly recipe, you want and need the higher fat. Not sure which artificial sweetener is used in the jello though and how healthy it is...
EmilyKrill says
Generally speaking, a Keto meal should be composed of 70-80% fat, 5-10% carbohydrate, and 10-20% protein. These Jello popsicles have 90% fat, 5% protein and 5% carbs. They are meant to be quick, between meal treats, not a major source of fat. So if you aren't getting enough fat in your diet, please don't blame my poor popsicles. Just pick a different recipe.
Kelly says
This looks so good, it reminds of the ones I grew up on, will you make some Keto butterscotch recipes, I love butterscotch!, maybe a butterscotch fudgsicle.
EmilyKrill says
Interesting idea. I've got a recipe for caramels which are close to butterscotch. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/low-carb-caramels/ The difference between butterscotch and caramels is that butterscotch uses brown sugar and caramel uses white sugar. Might be interesting to translate into a popsicle. Thanks.
Kelly says
Thanks for replying & for the recipe & your welcome.
Lyslee Lowell says
YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY finally something my husband can really enjoy being diabetic thank you very much for this great recipe!
EmilyKrill says
Sure thing, glad to help a fellow diabetic!
Donna says
Made these. 5 1/2 more hours in fridge. I doubled recipe to use my mold for 10. Had a cup left over which I added ice to to taste. Could you add mandarin orange bits, you think?
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
As a matter of fact, I DO have Jello mandarin slices. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/orange-keto-fluff-salad/
EmilyKrill says
Whoops, I misunderstood your question. Can you add real mandarin orange slices? Yes, make sure to drain them well. They’ll float to the top unless you chill the Jello before stirring them in. Chill the Jello mixture until thickened, 30-60 minutes. Check the carb count though, because oranges aren’t very low in carbs.
cindy says
Could I just freeze this in a bowl
EmilyKrill says
Sure, but how would you eat it? It would be too frozen to eat with a spoon.
Alicia Hinojosa says
I tried making some jello popsicles previously and they had a weird gelatin texture. Not the creamy frozen smoothness I would prefer. Yours look really yummy. Does your recipe give it the flavor and not the weird texture?
EmilyKrill says
No, it's Jello-y. If you don't like Jello's texture, then you should probably avoid recipes that contain Jello.
Deb says
A big hit - tried orange and strawberry. Hope to try lime and raspberry next
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Yum. Those sound good too.
Carol says
Thank you for the ability to jump to the recipe. That is very thoughtful of you.
Will hope to try this one soon. Creamsicles are a childhood favorite of my husband.
EmilyKrill says
No problem. I love it when bloggers have that button too. If I want to go back and read the post, I will, but I'm most interested in getting a quick read of the ingredients and how long it will take to make.
Mary Ann says
I would like to make these. How much heavy whipping cream do you use?
they look delicious ! thanks
EmilyKrill says
Thanks, it takes 1 cup.
Mary Ann says
Thank you for updating . Looking forward to making these!

sharon m sutton says
Have you tried whipping the cream, then folding in the cooled Jello? Seems like it would go farther, make more pops and lower the carbs and calories. Btw, the picture of your popsicles look as though there real orange bits in them. ??? Is that grated rind? Thanks for the recipe---I will be buying ingredients shortly!
EmilyKrill says
Glad you are going to give them a try. I haven't tried using whipped cream. I think the hot Jello liquid would deflate the whipped cream though. The little bits of dark orange are bits of undissolved Jello. You can get rid of them by straining the Jello mixture before mixing it with the cream.
Conchita says
Sharon, have you tried whipping the cream first and folding it in? I am very curious if that actually worked!
