Anzac Cream Popsicles

These Anzac Cream Popsicles are a nostalgic twist on a classic Australian treat. Combining the buttery, oat goodness of Anzac biscuits with creamy milk and a hint of vanilla, they’re the ultimate treat for a hot summer day with simple ingredients and easy customisations.

There’s a reason why some flavour combos are so popular – because they just work and taste good! As a kid I loved dunking biscuits in creamy milk – I wasn’t allowed to do it too often, except at my Nans house. Generally, it was an Anzac Bikkie straight out of the oven that I lovingly dunked until the last part dissolved between my fingers (I’m one for trying to make good things last as long as possible). Anyhow, I’m sure this is how the popular ice-cream flavour ‘cookies and cream’ was born?

So as I took a batch of Anzacs out of the oven yesterday, I had an urge to road test my new stainless steel Onyx popsicle moulds and these Anzac Cream Popsicles were born. My kids are bursting at the seams to tuck into one, hope you enjoy this Anzac come nostalgic inspired treat.

Health benefits

This low sugar recipe offers a fun way to enjoy homemade treats with control over ingredients. Coconut cream is a great dairy-free alternative, and the sweetness can be adjusted to suit your preference.

Ingredients

The recipe features Anzac biscuits, milk or nut milk, cream or coconut cream, sweetener (like maple syrup or honey), and vanilla. These ingredients come together to create a creamy, flavour-packed frozen treat.

How to make these Anzac cream popsicles

To make these frozen treats, start by breaking one Anzac biscuit into small pieces and placing them into popsicle moulds. In a blender, combine the remaining biscuit with milk, cream, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the mixture into the moulds over the biscuit pieces and freeze until set. If using a Thermomix, blend for 20 seconds at speed 6 for a perfectly smooth consistency.

Serving suggestions and how to store

Enjoy these popsicles straight from the freezer on a warm day. Store them in the moulds or transfer them to an airtight container to avoid freezer burn.

Vary these Anzac cream popsicles to suit your dietary needs

For a dairy-free and vegan option, opt for nut milk and coconut cream, and use a dairy-free version of the Anzac biscuit. Gluten or grain-free versions are easily achieved by using the corresponding Anzac biscuit recipe. To add a fruity twist, mix in chopped strawberries before freezing.
