Creamy Orange Pops

I love those yummy cream-sicles from childhood, but wish the ingredient list had a few more real foods.  Everyday Food came up with this better option.  The taste is very close and the texture is quite creamy.  I don't put the full amount of sugar listed below and can't say the sweetness is missed.
*1 c. thawed orange juice concentrate
*1/3 c. sugar
*2 c. full-fat plain yogurt
*2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
In a small saucepan, combine juice concentrate and sugar over medium-low.  Cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Stir in yogurt and vanilla. Transfer to a large liquid measuring cup, pour into ten 3-oz ice-pop molds, and insert ice-pop sticks.  Freeze until pops are solid, about 6 hours.
