Sweet and Sour Cherry Yogurt Pops
Sweet and Sour Cherry Yogurt Pops are a tangy and refreshing summer treat!
I’m back with day two of “Frozen Treat Week,” a fun summery week of tons of delicious frozen recipes from a whole slew of fabulous bloggers. (Plus exciting giveaways…see below!!) I purchased a set of fancy popsicle molds for the occasion- knowing I’d want a wide variety of frozen deliciousness. They were easy to use and I am so excited to now have the option of popsicles whenever I want them!
I had a quart of greenmarket sweet and sour cherries dying to be used, and since it was about 150 degrees outside, some slightly sweet and also tangy yogurt pops sounded like just the thing. These took no time to make, were frozen solid in just a few hours- and tasted so SO good. If you haven’t had sour cherries they are really delicious- tangy with a little pucker- (but not too much!)
Sweet and Sour Cherry Yogurt Pops
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla flavored yogurt
- 2 cups cherries, a combo of sweet and sour, or whatever you have.
- sugar to taste*
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients and puree until smooth, with a few bits of cherry intact.
- Pour into popsicle mold, add sticks and freeze for 4-5 hours or until solid.
- To pop out of the molds- run under hot water until they come right out.
Notes
*I used half sweet and half sour cherries and needed 1/8 cup of sugar to make them my desired sweetness. If you use all sour- you will need more and may not need any if using sweet cherries. Taste to see how you like it :)

I am making my first ever popsicles today and am so excited! I love the mix of sweet and sour cherries in here…it’s so hard to find the sour ones but it is so worth it when you do!
Such a fun flavor! I still need to get new popsicle mold… I hate mine
These sound awesome! Love that you used cherries – we have so many right now!
I need a popsicle mold! These look so good. I was on an ice cream making kick for a while but it’s a bit more of a hassle than popsicle-making…i really wanna make some :)
This is exactly the sort of thing I like to keep stocked in my freezer all summer long! Delicious and so beautiful.
I’m seeing so many popsicles and frozen treats this week. I think I’m missing out! These look delicious. I do love sour cherries!
These popsicles are GORGEOUS!! I find popsicles to be a difficult thing to photograph for some reason but your picture is just stunning. Love that these pops are healthy too! Yogurt, cherries, minimal sugar. Count me in!
I’m nuts about cherries and so happy they’re now in season.
This is a great idea, A.
Your baby’s gonna love it when s/he’s old enough for popsicles. ;) xo
This is definitely the best blogpost of yours so far! So excited about the Frozen Treat Week, I guess I’ll have to take note of every single recipe :)
xo, Elisa

I’m loving frozen week!! These look delicious and the pictures are gorgeous!
These sound perfect! I love treats that require two-three ingredients!
I love frozen pops. I really appreciate the sugar free option. Thanks.
The color of the popsicles is so gorgeous Audra, and I’m just loving your pics of them. I find popsicles hard to shoot but you nailed it :)
Aw thanks Lady. I stole the ice cube idea from Food Gawker :)
These look wonderful and refreshing!
These look so good!! We are huge popsicle and cherry fans in my house but I never have cherries last long enough to make a recipe with them. We always eat them all!!
This recipe is perfect for our hot weather! :D
Yum! These yogurt pops look and sound amazing!
I love sour cherries and I love that you paired them with yogurt. I love making ice pops at home and I love that I’m collecting all these yummy recipes :)
I really need to get on the cherry bandwagon this year. These look so simple and delicious, Audra!
