Pumpkin Pie Popsicles Ingredients

The star of the recipe is of course the pumpkin itself. Use pumpkin puree, which is made of 100% pumpkin. Pumpkin pie filling is not the same thing, so check the can carefully. You could also make your own pumpkin puree if you want to.

Heavy cream gives this recipe using pumpkin puree a luxurious flavour and texture. Brown sugar and maple syrup give sweetness while guar gum acts as a stabilizer in frozen recipes.

Rich and delicious flavors come from the addition of vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. Crushed Oreo cookies coat the pumpkin pie popsicles adding chocolate flavor as well as a wonderful crunchy texture.

How to Make Creamy Pumpkin Pops with Oreo Coating

The first thing to do is warm the pumpkin, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla, and spices in a pan on the stove. Mix in the guar gum and then carefully pour the mixture into popsicle moulds.

Now you can combine melted butter with Oreo crumbs and press this into each of the Oreo popsicles. Add sticks and then freeze them overnight or for at least 8 hours until firmly set. This makes such a great fall treat for kids as well as for the pumpkin spice lover!

There are two ways to make these. If you are using the kind of popsicle mould where you press the coating mixture on the side, you can make them that way. If you’re using the ones you have to fill from the end, you can add the Oreo mixture in first or last, or even alternate the popsicle mixture with the Oreo mixture. Ensure you press it in firmly so the popsicles don’t break apart when you unmould them.

What is Guar Gum?

You might be wondering what guar gum adds to the pumpkin pie popsicles. It’s actually a stabilizer. When you use it in ice cream, popsicles and other frozen treats, it helps with the consistency. You will end up with a creamy result rather than having ice crystals ruining the recipe.

Also known as guaran, guar gum comes from guar beans. It’s used as a thickening agent in medications as well as recipes. You should be able to find it at the grocery store or else you can order it online from Amazon for example.

Can I Make the Pumpkin Popsicles Vegan?

Feel free to swap the heavy cream for nut milk and the butter for a vegan alternative. Swap the Oreos for your favourite vegan-friendly cookies. This would work great if you want vegan fall treats for kids (or for you!)

It’s a gluten-free recipe too for the pumpkin spice lover who doesn’t eat gluten. In this case make sure you’re using the gluten-free variety of cookies in the recipe.

Pumpkin Pie Popsicles Variations

This recipe using pumpkin puree may be tweaked if you like. If Oreos aren’t your favourite cookie or you have something else to use up, that’s fine. You can use any type of cookie crumbs. Put the cookies in a Ziploc bag and bash it with a rolling pin until you have small crumbs. This is also a good stress-relieving exercise!

You can change the flavours in these creamy pumpkin pops with Oreo coating. Mix and match your preferred spices or swap the vanilla extract for almond extract or another favourite. The maple syrup can be switched for agave syrup if you prefer. Honey would be another alternative.

Popsicle moulds come in many shapes and sizes, so you could make this as mini popsicles or full sized ones. They keep for a long time in the freezer too so make as many as you want. This recipe using pumpkin puree is well worth making because it’s so delicious and refreshing.

How Long Do They Take to Set?

You might find yours set after 4 or 5 hours but I will typically leave mine the full 8 hours or overnight.

This just ensures they are fully frozen and won’t break apart when you try to unmould them. It depends on your ingredients as well as your freezer and other things, so make them a day ahead just to be sure!
