Solid carbon dioxide is called dry ice, it is created by compressing carbon dioxide and chilling it, so it is very cold. When it heats up, it does not melt into a liquid, but straight into a gaseous form. This is called sublimation.
That's the common name for frozen carbon dioxide.

("dry" because it turns into a gas at room temp rather than a liquid.)

The carbonation from the dry ice will create a fizzy and refreshing popsicle. Another idea is to make a dry ice ice cream by mixing cream, sugar, and flavorings with dry ice in a bowl.
