Ingredients You Need
Here’s a look at the ingredients you need to have on hand to make Cherry Popsicles so you know what to pick up from the store or have ready.
- Sweet cherries (thawed if frozen): You can use fresh pitted sweet cherries or thawed frozen ones. I usually use frozen ones to make this recipe as easy as possible.
- Lemonade (or Greek yogurt to make them creamy): Depending on the flavor you want, you can use either of these. Feel free to use a lower sugar lemonade or go with no-added-sugar yogurt. Both are super yummy.

Cherry Popsicles FAQs
Sure, just add mini chocolate chips to the mixture before freezing. Or dip frozen pops into melted chocolate, then freeze for 5 minutes before serving.
I like this mini popsicle mold since it’s small and easy to hold.
Use the yogurt variation below. To make Creamy Cherry Popsicles that are also dairy-free, use coconut cream in place of the yogurt.
How to Store
Store frozen pops in a freezer storage bag for up to 3 months in the freezer.
Best Tips for Success
- Blend super smooth for the best final texture.
- Use a favorite freezer pop mold, ice pop bags, or use small paper or plastic cups and popsicle sticks.
- I think these are sweet enough without additional honey or sweetener, but that may vary based on the flavor of your cherries. Taste the puree and see!
