Advice
For a more indulgent variation, try adding a little zest of fresh orange peel to the mixture for an added citrus punch. You can also experiment with different sweeteners like monk fruit or erythritol if you prefer alternatives to liquid stevia. The silicone tray allows for easy removal of the creamsicles, but if you’re using a different type of mold, lightly oiling it might help prevent sticking.
