If you guys are anything like me then you crave the flavors of pumpkin pie all year long not just around Thanksgiving. My favorite seasons are fall and winter. The smell of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice always put a smile on my face. On their own each of these fragrant spices are glorious. Combined they are a melting pot of pure bliss. Today I have Pumpkin Pie Popsicles for you.
Bring a little fall chill into your bright sunny days….
Frozen pops are everywhere in magazines and on the web these days. They are a simple treat that can made in a pinch and flavored any way you want them. Not to mention,with homemade pops you can use the freshest ingredients, save on cost and use much less sugar than store bought ones. In our case no sugar is used at all. Vanilla stevia dropsĀ provide all the sweetness. Sweet as sugar, but none added.
Remember the event Goaterie I told you about a few weeks ago? That was the first time I made a milkshake with goats milk, blueberry sauce and frozen bananas, it was amazing! I made a batch of these pops with goats milk and another with thick greek yogurt. Both were spectacular!
Speaking of yogurt and popsicles I have a cute summer promo full of goodies for you. Stonyfield FarmĀ has provided me with one Summer in a Box giveaway for you. They have a new organic frozen yogurt pops with dark chocolate coating. Yum! Included are some free coupons for those and a bunch of all natural summer products.
I could have brought some pops to a lovely outing at a friends house in LA, but they would have melted on my 2 hour drive. Anyways I showed up withĀ a giant wheel of cheese. They were happy with that.
These pals know great food and how to party al fresco, from center clockwise: Lucy Lean, Michael Procopio, Carrie Vitt, Jen Jenk, Gaby Dalkin and Brooke Burton
You know what was kinda neat about these popsicles…..how the creamier part separated to the bottom and the pumpkin part went to the top. Makes ’em pretty and the great flavor is throughout the whole pop.
Have you been making lots of popsicles this summer? Do you like creamy, fruity, chocolate, tart……I love them all. Join me in a lick of fall in the heat of summer.
Are you a pumpkin junkie like us? Feel free to share any of your favorite popsicle links and recipes in the comments field.

I did this giveaway on my site about 2 weeks ago! Great little giveaway. Just wanted to say how awesome looking those popsicles are…wow! Great yumminess on a stick right there! š
My favorite summer ice pop is berry banana
I follow your RSS feed.
My favorite ice pop is banana fudge!
I subscribe to your RSS feed.
These look wonderful! And I’m like you and love pumpkin all year round! Pumpkin Pancakes for July 17th? Sure, why not!
And my favorite popsicle flavor is strawberry-lots of chunks!
I am subscribed to your RSS feeds!
I recently did a popsicle for the Secret Recipe Club and now I can’t seem to have enough on hand; I’ve also done one combining honey yogurt and goat cheese with fig (no pictures for Goaterie, shame on me!). I feel like a kid again! Here’s my recipe for strawberry/vanilla yogurt/lime popsicle:
http://www.creative-culinary.com/strawberry-vanilla-yogurt-lime-popsicles/
I’ve been incorporating organic into my summer choices by buying as much produce as possible from a local farm that’s just about 4 houses down from my parents’ house!
I looove pumpkin anything and these sound amazing! Who needs to wait until fall for these delicious treats? š
I’m a fan of raspberry but the pumpkin sounds like something my husband would love.
I follow through RSS.
Pumpkin is one of the main reasons Fall is my favorite season
This morning when I woke up it was nice and cool outside (I live in NH) and I was thinking of fall… I started to crave apple and pumpkin pie. But it is not quite that time of year yet! So this will be a great recipe for me to try to get that “fall” craving under control on a summer day! And they look awesome!!
What a neat idea – pumpkin pie flavors in a summertime treat. My kids love these warm spices so I think they would really enjoy your popsicles. I’ve been making fruit Popsicles this summer – kiwi pops and “firecracker” pops using POM blueberry juice, lemonade and black cherry juice.
My favorite popsicle is just a regular old fudgesicle. Or orange dream. Simple is best with popsicles.
Katie, I agree that is the beauty of popsicles – how simple and full of flavor they are!
oh my goodness, Marla! These are just genius. It’s like fall without having to wait for fall. YUMMMMMMM.
Marina, considering I am so impatient these should help tie me over ’till the cooler months š Glad you like the pops.
My favorite pop just might be this little guy. I’m a pumpkin junkie too and I have to give this recipe a try! The hubby and kid don’t like pumpkin so these will be mine, all mine! š
Megan “all mine” is a great thing š Thanks so much for entering my giveaway. Hope you love the pops!

Opting out of the giveaway as I’m in the U.K., but just wanted to say how wonderful those icepops looks! I wish it was easy to get hold of pumpkin puree here as I’d try them for sure.
Paula….how about using a sweet potato mash instead? Or you can buy a whole pumpkin, roast it and purĆ©e the flesh too. I know that is a bit more work than buying a can but the flavor would be better. Check out this link from Food For My Family about homemade pumpkin purĆ©e Might be helpful :).
Those popsicles are awesome! I love that flavor.
Cheers,
Rosa
I think my favorite pop would be the ones you just showed- I love pumpkin all year round! I’m surprised I’m not orange…
Nikita that is cute. I remember when my kids were babies they ate so much sweet potato & pumpkin their palms were a bit orange!
Pumpkin Pie Popsicles, this is a new one on me, but as we both love pumpkin I will be sure to give this a try as soon as my pumpkins are ready in the garden. Diane
Diane “pumpkin ready in your garden?!” You lucky gal you. I want pumpkin growing in my garden too….problem is my complete lack of gardening skills!
First off, I love your photos! My goodness. They seem to get better and better every day. Such a neat idea putting pumpkin in a popsicle!
My favorite pop would have to be… creamsicles! We make a pretty good recipe at home for them. I used to love those cyclone popsicles as a kid… until I became a nutritionist, read the label, and promised myself I’d never have one again. Blah! So many garbage ingredients!

How did you know I LOVE pumpkin pie?! š
I am always up for pumpkin!
Yum, those look wonderful!
Wow Marla, those pops looks amazing. I hate waiting until fall to use pumpkin–this is a great idea.
OH, these look so delicious! I’m with you. I love pumpkin and spice any time of year. Very innovative in Popsicle form. š
It’s pretty much organic all the way in our house. Tom’s has been a favorite for over 12 years, I have been using Dr. Hauschka since 1984, when I experienced an ALL Dr. H facial…it’s in my medicine cabinet now. I love their oils and serums! Pumpkin all year long is my motto as well, Marla!
Susan, I remember the first time I discovered Dr.H too. Awesome products! They smell beautiful and work magic on the skin. Glad to hear you love pumpkin as much as we do š
Any pop with strawberry or lemonade pulls me in!
I love mexican fruit popsicles!!
Cheryl, mexican fruit pops sound like fun. What is in those?
Pumpkin is up there in my top tier of favorite flavors. I almost can’t wait for fall so I can use it again, except now I don’t have to! I will just make these gorgeous popsicles!
Oh my goodness. I KNOW those taste amazing!
What a wonderful idea for pops! I know I would love these. And what an awesome giveaway, I use and love all of these products. Thank you!
Since I’ve had babies, I got more educated about organic food. Now we grow a lot of our own!
These pops sound delicious! I got a new ice cream maker, so I have been experimenting a lot with that; my favorite so far is raspberry dark chocolate fro yo. I have also been loving some nice banana/peanut butter/cocoa pops lately- such a healthy, cool treat for the summer!

Stumbled!

I’m trying to buy organic as long as the price is right. I know organic’s the right way to go, but sometimes I can’t justify the extra expense. We live on a pretty tight budget.
I know the feeling Suzanne. Don’t pressure yourself. Buy what you can organic – in season fruits and veggies are always the best tasting and priced. Try not to feel guilty when you gotta take a pass ’cause of cost.
I like Family Fresh Cooking on FB.

What a brilliant idea! Those popsicles look amazing!
My favorite pops would be orange or watermelon. Of course fudge pops are bad either š
To me, organic means healthful, balanced, life and energy-giving, and wholesome!
I love the whimsy of pumpkin popsicles and that pic in my garden is lovely – can you email me a copy xxx
Lucy, it was a wonderland spending time in your beautiful garden. Thanks so much for having us all there. Such a fun day! I will certainly be getting you a copy of that photo.
Yummy. Pumpkin is one of my all time favorites. A watermelon and any kind of berry combination would be my favorite. They are so easy to make and the perfect summertime snack. Love seeing the pictures of the kids. Miss them and you!
I adore pumpkin! We grow our own pumpkins, so organic is just a way of life for us! As well as a full garden, we LOVE it.
My favorite pop is a Marion Berry, Basil & Lemonade pop!
I like on Facebook.
I love pumpkin anything. Candles, food, lotion. You name, it I have it in pumpkin scent. Your pops look fantastic!
I’m thinking that this one may BECOME my favorite – but until I make it, we’ll go with chocolate (Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom).
Pumpkin pie in popsicle form? That’s pure genius! It’s the best of summer and fall, all frozen on a stick. Love it!
What a great idea for a popsicle:) Bring on fall!
Yum! These rock! I am sharing these on my facebook fan page right now!
Marla, that’s so cute how they became “two-tone” popsicles — like pumpkin pie with whipped cream, only healthier. Thanks for all of your creative ideas!
I love fudgsicles and the memories I have eating them with my dad…
Goodness gracious! These look wonderful, I love the flavors of fall, not to mention how pretty these popsicles are!
I tweeted this AWESOME giveaway!
following you on Stumble !
I try to incorporate organic products/produce when I can. It gets to be pricey, but it’s always a smarter and more healthful choice!
We had grapefruit mint popsicles (homemade) that were fabulously refreshing!
I LOVE cranberry or pineapple pops!
Cassie, I must make cranberry pops pronto! They would pair well with my pumpkin ones.
I have been growing my own spices which are organic. And my mom shares the bounty from her garden.
The local farmers market has a nice vendor who always has some organic coffee/fudge pops. Since the first time I had one, two things have changed. First, I make sure to go there every week during the summer. Second, my idea of organic has changed, and I’m obsessed with it.
Julien: Organic coffee/fudge pops sound addictive! I can see why you make your way to the farmers market every weekend!
clever–i’ve certainly never seen a pumpkin pie pop! my favorite popsicle is the classic dreamsicle–i never tire of it!
What a great idea! Fall is my ALL-TIME favorite season of the year. I’m so ready for it, but I just can’t bring myself to make all of the warm Fall desserts. These are the perfect compromise! As for favorite popsicle, I love fudgy chocolate popsicles. š Yum!
I tweeted. š
I follow you on twitter, too. š
I read you posts with RSS (Google Reader). š
I stumbled this post. š
I also follow you on instagram. Such great photos. š Thanks for the giveaway Marla! š
Thanks for the pumpkin recipe, it remind me of my favorite season Fall.
Love pumpkin anything. But pumpkin pops? Yes! Nice giveaway, although I come for the content. Keep up the great work Marla! Love the clicks!
I have been doing my best to follow the “dirty dozen” list of organic produce this summer, so I’ve been buying organic berries and peaches!
These pops are so pretty, Marla! Such a cute idea…we really are on the same wavelength. Yesterday was a real scorcher and I was eating a coconut popsicle and wishing for fall to arrive…I started thinking about the holidays and the idea of an eggnog popsicle came to mind! I think I’ll give these pumpkin pie pops a try first though! š
These popsicles look absolutely delicious. I’ve been craving pumpkin and just like you, my favorite time of the year is fall (more-so than winter). I’ve also been looking for another ice pop recipe.
My favorite summer ice pop is a “root beer float”. All you do is open a can of root beer and allow is to set at room temperature until it gets flat. After it is flat – pour a bit into an ice pop mold. Put in the freezer for about 30 minutes until it is partially frozen. Then, take greek yogurt and put a tiny layer of yogurt in the ice pop mold. Repeat the layering process until your mold is filled.

How very creative…never, ever come across this before….I am so glad I stopped by your blog…amazing space…
i’m not too picky when it comes to my popsicles… i just want some yummy fruit and i want it to be extra cold!! i live in some serious heat territory so one in each hand might work out better š
Jeanette, one popsicle in each hand sounds like the PERFECT summer treat.
I have one can of pumpkin left and I plan to make these this weekend!
We love mixing yogurt and any fruits for yummy summer popsicle. Will be trying your pumpkin ones….sound wonderful!
I really love those Flinstone’s Push Pops. Am I too old for that?
Amy, we are never too old for anything. I have never seen those pops though. Do I dare ask what flavor/s they are??
I used to love those Jell-O Pudding Pops! They were the best! š
I did too Amy! You just brought back sweet childhood memories š
btw: I could never stick to just one.
My favorite popsicle to make is creamy strawberry! Blend greek yogurt, honey and frozen strawberries together. Place in molds and freeze! The kids love these!
Woah! I don’t eat that many popsicles but am going to be making these for sure! Otherwise, I like a frozen banana “pop” dipped in a little dark chocolate. š
I love making chocolate pudding pops. My favorite organic foods in the summer are found in my backyard.
I’m not entering, I just wanted to say, I think this is genius. We’re all ready for fall…but I think it will be awhile…here’s a cold pumpkin spice latte! Grinning ear to ear!
Watermelon slushies…. no popsicles since I don’t have the molds. Trying to eat more organic because I’m convinced the processed foods and pesticides are contributing to the rise in illnesses and diseases.
Favorite popsicle would have to be anything coconut- like the real fruit kind from Whole Foods- yum! But, I am a serious pumpkin lover and will be going out to buy molds just to make these. I try to feed my family as much organic as possible, summer is wonderful because we hit up the farmer’s markets to get local organic goods that are so fresh, plus the kids love being involved in the choosing and seeing the farmers (and the animals they bring :).
I love pumpkin all year round too – what a special treat these are!
I like chocolate popsicles. Or anything creamy, but not so much the icy fruit ones. I love fruit, but when it’s frozen on a stick I usually just want chocolate.
I now follow you on Twitter
I think your pumpkin pops are my new favorite. I love Pumpkin all year long too. I even took pumpkin-craisin muffins to the beach back in June.
Following you on Twitter now for another entry, thanks!
can you believe i haven’t made a pop this summer yet! Pumpkin pie pops? U know you crazy and I love that š Wow. I’m going to go make some right now
Organic to me means no chemicals are put near my food!
It’s summer and fall wrapped into a yummy treat. I can’t wait to make these.
Raspberry is my favorite pop!
You would be soooo welcome at our house if you showed up with Fol Epie! A fabulous cheese!!
I love fudgesicles! Yummy!
Oh those popsicles are awesome!! Pumpkin popsicles…genius! My favorite pops are the strawberry pops I make at home.
I follow you on Twitter
Oh, I love pumpkin, too! My favorite pops right now are lemonade…but I’m going to have to give pumpkin a try!
These look wonderful! I try to eat organic as much as possible.
I folow you on twitter.
Pumpkin pie popsicles are a great idea!
Yum – these pops look delicious. I am so ready for FALL! I make my own baby food — only what is best for my baby!
Right now, organic means all the fresh veggies I am picking out of my own garden. I am drowning in tomatoes and loving it.
These popsicles look so, so good. And I have that same blue patterned fabric that I use for props š
I love any popsicle with lime in it! We buy most of our produce from local famer’s market and our beef from the guy down the road…so much better than the store
Those look like easy and great little popsicles! What a delicious idea! My favorite popsicles are the classic chocolate and vanilla pudding swirls!
Great idea to make pumpkin pie pops! When I was raising my kids we always made homemade pops. I’m glad to see they’re coming back!
Mmm I love pumpkin pie ice cream so I bet I’d LOVE these popsicles. Thanks for the link love, too!
What a lovely picture of the popsicles, they sound delicious! I saved the recipe to try them. Thank you!

Perhaps someday we can do that when I have a staff to help me š
I just found this on pinterest. Where is the recipe link? I’m not seeing it. Thanks.
