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