- 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
Place pitted cherries in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, honey and almond extract. Stir with a spoon until fully incorporated.
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.
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.
