    Swirled Cherry Almond Pops -Guest Post from My Imperfect Kitchen

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I can't believe we are at the end of July already! My summer so far has been filled with gardening, swimming with my daughter, having her best friend here and watching them play (and fight) together, and a small issue with our pool which eventually caused us to have to drain and refill it. Being outside most of the summer, these Swirled Cherry Almond Pops from today's guest, Sara from My Imperfect Kitchen, make a perfect treat!

    You might remember Sara since we have guest posted for each other before, and her Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Bell Peppers was one of the most popular guest posts of last summer. I think you will enjoy these pops just as much! Here's Sara!

    Hello everyone!  My name is Sara and I blog over at "My Imperfect Kitchen." My motto is "Life isn't perfect, but it should always be delicious!"  I want to thank Bernadette for allowing me the opportunity to share with you this week. It's been pretty hot where I live lately and when it's sweltering outside, there is nothing I like better than reaching inside the freezer for a cold treat. Of course, I like standing in front of the open freezer door too, but I think that has something to do with my age, more than the heat  😉  Anyway….now that you know more about me than you wanted,  here are my Swirled Cherry Almond Pops!

    These pops are simple, delicious, and healthy. You probably have everything you need in your house right now! A great thing about these popsicles (aside from opening the freezer to get them!) is that they are incredibly versatile. You can use almost any type of fruit and switch the almond extract for vanilla extract, or leave it out! The honey gives you a little bit of sweet to balance the tart of the plain yogurt. Since the ingredients are simple, you can feel great giving these to your kids!

    I've made these pops with blueberries and almond extract, strawberries with vanilla extract, peaches with vanilla extract and mango with coconut extract!  They're all delicious!  You'll have to let me know which ones are your favorite!

    Swirled Cherry Almond Pops

    2 cups fresh cherries, pitted. (alternately, you could use a 16 oz bag of frozen cherries that have been defrosted)

    1 cup plain yogurt

    2 TBLS honey

    ¼ tsp almond extract

    1. Place pitted cherries in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.

    2. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, honey and almond extract. Stir with a spoon until fully incorporated.

    3. Pour a portion of the cherry puree into the bottom of the popsicle molds. Then, pour some of the yogurt honey mix on top. Repeat the process until the molds are full and you have nice layers of cherries and the yogurt mix. Lightly swirl the cherry puree and the yogurt together with a plastic chopstick or the handle of a plastic spoon, or just leave them in layers. I like to swirl mine because they look prettier in the pictures. HA!

    4. Place the popsicle sticks inside the molds. Transfer to the freezer for at least 4 - 6 hours.

    NOTE: To remove from the popsicles from their molds, pour warm water briefly over the outside of the molds and gently pull on the popsicle stick so it will release.
