The season is brief, but the taste of cherries can be preserved a little longer when frozen into delicious popsicles. Vanilla and lemon are the perfect compliments in this cool treat. Makes 8 popsicles
Ingredients
2.5 cups cherries, pitted and halved
4 Tbsp sugar
juice and zest of one lemon
1/4 cup water
1 cup Vanilla Bean Cream Top Yogurt
6 Tbsp water
Method
- Pit and halve the cherries. Add them to a saucepan with the sugar, lemon zest and juice and 1/4 cup of water.
- Put the pan on a high heat for around 10 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the cherries have softened.
- Add the cherries to a blender and blend until smooth.
- In a jug, mix the yogurt and 6 tablespoons of water until combined.
- Fill each popsicle mould halfway with the blended cherries, then top up with a yogurt mixture leaving a little space at the top.
- Use a chopstick to mix the layers together, then add the tops and put in the freezer for about 4 hours or until frozen.
- Depending on your mould, you may need to run the popsicles under warm water to release them.
