Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen cherries
- 1 cup water
- 1-2 teaspoons honey (or agave syrup, maple syrup, or sugar)
Instructions
- Blend the ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen cherries, water, and your choice of sweetener until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour into molds: Carefully pour the blended cherry mixture into ice pop molds, leaving some space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- Freeze the pops: Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to ensure the ice pops are firm and fully set.
- Remove and serve: When ready to serve, run warm water over the outside of the molds briefly to loosen the ice pops, then gently remove them from the molds and enjoy.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less honey or alternative sweeteners.
- You can substitute frozen cherries with other frozen berries or fruits for different flavors.
- If you don’t have ice pop molds, small paper cups and popsicle sticks can be used as a substitute.
- Running warm water over the mold briefly helps release the ice pops easily without melting them too much.
- These ice pops are naturally dairy-free and vegan-friendly if agave syrup or maple syrup is used as the sweetener.
