Cupcake Push Pops - Another Fun Way to Ship Cupcakes

I had never heard of cupcake push pops until I saw a post about Easter cupcake push pops on Love From the Oven.  Those cupcake push pops were just about the most adorable thing I've ever seen (well, except for any photo of my son).

Here's my son in his happy place (the washing machine).

Although I knew my cupcake push pops could never compete in cuteness with the Peep-topped ones from Love From the Oven, I had to try making some.  Besides, it's hard to screw up with a push pop.  No matter how ugly they turned out, my tasters were bound to be excited by them!

I contacted CupKatesEventDesign and she sent me some push pop holders to review.  These push pop holders have been such a huge seller for her that she regularly sells out of them.  If you don't see any in her shop right now, check back soon. 

Easy Key Lime Pie Push Pops

I made these key lime pie push pops using a recipe for key lime pie ice cream found on Sugar Cooking (adapted from Cooking Light).  This recipe is EASY!  Dump all of the ingredients into one bowl, transfer to push pop molds, and freeze!  The best part is that the result tastes just like key lime pie!  It's tart, not overly sweet, and has bits of graham cracker mixed throughout.  While the recipe is enjoyable as ice cream (I tried it that way, too), and it would be fantastic as a popsicle, making the recipe as push pops adds a whole other level of fun.  Push pops (like cupcakes) make you feel like a kid, ready to jump in the air and click your heels together screaming, "Yabadabadoo!"   Why, at 35, am I just now discovering the joy of push pops?
