Limber de morir soñando tastes just like orange creamsicle ice pops. Morir soñando is a traditional Dominican drink made with orange juice, milk, and vanilla extract. I kick it up a notch by adding passion fruit juice and condensed milk for a deliciously creamy ice pop perfect for summer!

In Puerto Rico, limber is traditionally made in small plastic cups. Once frozen, you flip the ice pop upside down and place it back in the cup to make it easier to eat. I like adding a popsicle stick to make them easier to hold while eating. You could also use a popsicle mold to make popsicles or paletas.

What is limber?

What is a limber, anyway? Limber got its name from pilot Charles A. Lindbergh, who landed on the island in 1928. According to locals, Lindbergh was greeted with a frozen juice that later was referred to as limbers. Limber is how many in Puerto Rico pronounce the pilot’s name.

How to make orange creamsicle ice pops?

To a blender, add the passion fruit juice, passion fruit pulp, orange juice, sugar, vanilla extract and ice. Blend on lowest setting for about 10 seconds. The mixture should be very cold so that it doesn’t break when adding the milk.

Add the evaporated milk and condensed milk and blend on the lowest setting for about 10-15 seconds. Use a strainer to remove any chunks of ice. Pour the mixture into plastic cups and cover the cups with lids. Place in the freezer and freeze for about 1-2 hours. When it’s halfway frozen, place a popsicle stick in the center.

Place back in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve with orange slices and fresh mint leaves as garnish. I like using these 5 ounce cups with lids. It’s important to cover the limber to keep its flavor fresh. It’s important to cover the limber to keep its flavor fresh.
