Why you’ll love these
Sweet soft cherries
Thanks to cooking the cherries on the stovetop, we cook down the cherries to increase their sweetness and intensify their flavor.
Tart and creamy
The thick and tart Greek yogurt swirled with the lightly whipped cream compliments the cherries and turns these from a dessert to an anytime of day treat.
Ingredients and substitutions for Cherries and Cream Popsicles
- Cherries: Fresh cherries were used here thanks to them being in season, however, frozen cherries would work in the same way. Alternatively cherry jam would also work to make things quicker and or easier.
- Sugar: Superfine or caster sugar help not only sweeten the overall dish, but also help to draw the moisture from the cherries to reduce the juices and provide a nice thick mixture to go into our popsicles.
- Greek yogurt: Tart and thick yogurt balance the sweetness of the cherries
- Heavy cream: Freshly whipping heavy cream makes the creaminess in our popsicles perfect and combines beautifully with the yogurt.
Equipment needed to make this
Saucepan: A small saucepan is needed to simmer those cherries.
Mixing bowl: To whip that heavy cream and stir the yogurt together.
Popsicle tray: A rectangular popsicle tray works best here.
Popsicle sticks: Regular wooden popsicle sticks.
