What happens when you’re bored in the summer and a former Michgander who is SUPER excited by gorgeous, late season cherries in the grocery store? POPSICLES!
See that photo below, those beautiful cherries are are almost as big as the lime in the background! Yum. This popsicle tasted a lot like store-bought cherry yogurt but less sweet and with a little extra tang from the lime soaked into the cherries. Mmm.
CHERRY LIME YOGURT POPSICLES
- 1 cup of cherries, pits removed and chopped into bits
- 1 Tbl sugar
- 1 Tbl lime juice
- 7 oz Fage 0% yogurt (one single serving package)
- Chop up your cherries (I cut them into 8ths), removing the pits as you go (if you don’t have a cherry pitter).
- In a bowl, macerate the cherries in the sugar and lime juice for at least 30 minutes, but no more than an hour.
- Combine the yogurt with the soupy cherry mixture.
- Spoon the mixture into your favorite popsicle molds, using a chopstick to knock out as many bubbles as possible, insert popsicle sticks or the handles that go with your mold before freezing.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
- To remove your popsicles from the mold, place the mold in a glass of room temperature water for about 3 minutes to soften the edges and make it easier to remove the popsicle from the mold.
Nutritional Info: 3-4 servings, depending on your popsicle mold size. 1 WW PointsPlus each.
