Description

Delicious Cherry Yogurt Popsicles combining creamy yogurt and sweet cherries for a refreshing treat!


Ingredients

  • Fresh Cherries: Pitted and halved, cherries offer natural sweetness and vibrant color. You can also use frozen cherries if fresh ones are unavailable.
  • Greek Yogurt: A creamy and tangy base, Greek yogurt adds protein and a rich texture. You can substitute regular yogurt if preferred.
  • Honey or Maple Syrup: Adds sweetness to balance the tartness of cherries. Adjust the quantity to taste, depending on your preference.
  • Lemon Juice: A splash of lemon juice brightens the flavor of the popsicles. You can substitute with lime juice for a different twist.

Instructions

  1. Start by washing and pitting your fresh cherries. Halve the cherries and place them in a blender.
  2. Add Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice to the blender with the cherries. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the cherry and yogurt mixture into popsicle molds, filling them about three-quarters full.
  4. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until fully set.
  5. To remove the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds, then gently pull the popsicles out.
  6. Enjoy your refreshing cherry yogurt popsicles immediately or store them in a freezer-safe bag for later!

Notes

  • Use Ripe Cherries: Ensure your cherries are ripe for the best flavor. Look for cherries that are dark red and plump.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture before pouring it into molds. Feel free to adjust sweetness based on your preference or the natural flavor of the cherries.
  • Add Mix-ins: Consider adding shredded coconut, nuts, or other fruits into the mixture for more texture and flavor.
