What is summer without popsicles? What is summer without experimenting in the kitchen and making our own popsicles? Last summer we made simple and sweet strawberry raspberry popsicles and this summer we wanted to try making another fruity ice pop.cherry yogurt popsicles with kid's hand

We found freshly picked cherries at the farmers’ market last weekend and thought we would try making summer cherry yogurt popsicles. Cherries are one of my husband’s favourite summer fruits, so we wanted to make these as a special treat for him. It’s so nice to make food for someone else who you know is going to love it. 

The combination of yogurt and cherries is amazing. These cherry popsicles are the perfect summer treat.

Summer Cherry Yogurt Popsicles

4 cups of cherries
1/4 cup of sugar
1/4 cup water
juice of 1/2 lemon
100g container of greek yogurt

bowl of cherriesThe first step in making these popsicles is turning cherries into a sweet sauce. Place the cherries, sugar, water and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring cherries to a boil over medium-high heat.cherry yogurt popsicle

Once the mixture comes to a boil, bring the heat down to medium-low and simmer until the cherries soften. Use a potato masher to gently smash the skin of the cherries and help with the breaking down of the cherries.

When the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes, remove from the heat.

Set the sauce aside to cool completely…preferably overnight in the fridge.

Pour the cooled cherry sauce into the popsicle mold…fill the mold halfway. Scoop 2 tsp of yogurt into the mold and top up the mold with cherry sauce. There should be enough sauce for 4 popsicles, at least.

These cherry and yogurt popsicles are deliciously refreshing. My daughter was able to help with each and every step along the way. I love a recipe that the kids can get hands-on with and then enjoy the end result even more.

    I love that we both used our Zokus today! I wasn’t sure about mine at first, but I’m definitely a convert. Makes summer snacks a lot easier.
    These look so delicious, and wouldn’t you know – I have a giant bowl of cherries in the fridge!
    Thanks for participating in the series 🙂
