Who doesn't love Oreo cookies? They're probably the most classic cookies in the US! Besides Oreos, one of my favorite treats are popsicles and ice pops. I am a huge fan of making homemade popsicles for my family to enjoy. Combine the two and you get Oreo Popsicles!
I love the creamy texture and crunch from the Oreo cookies along with the cool, chilled texture of the popsicles. You will find that this is a decadent dessert that is going to give you an ice cream flavor in a creamy frozen treat.
If you'd like to make more traditional ice cream this summer, try mixing up this No-Churn Salted Caramel Pecan Ice Cream or this Copycat Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia Ice Cream! But if you really just want more Oreos, go for this cookies-and-cream filled poke cake.
But for beating that summer heat, there's really nothing better than a portable, creamy Oreo Popsicle!

Tips & Tricks for Oreo Popsicles
Cookies
For this recipe, you mix Oreo cookie crumbles into the batter. Then you break up larger cookie pieces to add more texture and aesthetic appeal to the popsicles. Make sure to add the larger cookies as they give your popsicles a nice look and added flavor.
Popsicle Molds
Use any of your favorite styles of popsicle molds. Just note that the amount of filling you pour into each mold will depend on the size of your molds. Additionally, popsicles in smaller molds will freeze faster than larger ones.
Variations To Oreo Popsicles
Cookies
I used Oreo cookies, but you can get creative and use any flavor of cookie you want! Chips Ahoy cookies would make a tasty popsicle. Or simply try a different flavor of sandwich cookie.
Lower Fat Popsicles
Want to lessen the fat in these popsicles? Use ½ cup of heavy cream and 1 ¼ cup of yogurt instead. Any kind of yogurt will work, including low fat yogurt and Greek yogurt.
Stir in Ingredients
Add more flavor to your pops by mixing in a little peanut butter, hot fudge, sprinkles, or nuts! This is a great way to make this recipe your own or to customize popsicles if you have little helpers in your kitchen, too.
Oreo Popsicles FAQs
How to remove popsicles from molds?
If you are struggling to remove the popsicles, run the molds under warm water. The popsicles should slide right out! Just make sure to not get the top of the popsicles wet!
Also, only leave the popsicle mold under the hot water for a short bit of time.If you overheat the mold, it will melt the popsicles.
How long will these popsicles last in the freezer?
These popsicles can be stored for an average of 2 months in the freezer. Just make sure your popsicles stay covered and in the molds. If you don't cover your Oreo freezer pops in the freezer, they may get freezer burned.
