homemade popsicles that are made with fresh cherries and lime.

 My son Aidan has a new favorite smoothie Healthy Black Forest Cherry Chocolate Smoothie! The smoothie like these fruit popsicles use fresh cherries. My daughter loves the smoothie but these pops are her favorite!

I started making homemade popsicles when my kid were very young. Making your own pops lets you control the ingredients, especially the sugar. The artificial colors and sugar made one of my turn into a spinning top, too much sugar.

Besides being full of antioxidants, cherries are delicious! This is the time of year to stock up on cherries and freeze them! Check out how healthy cherries are and how to freeze them here!

Homemade Popsicles FAQs

Can frozen cherries be used to make homemade popsicles?

Yes. I buy cherries in bulk when they are fresh and freeze them in 1-quart bags. Store bought freezer bags can be used as well.

What is the best way to freeze cherries?

Remove the pit, I use a cherry pitter. Place the cherries on a baking tray and let them set in the freezer about 2 hours. Then place the cherries in a freezer bag. They won't stick together.

Can other fruits be used to make homemade popsicles?

Absolutely. These pops are awesome and cherries are very sweet. Any fruit can be pureed and made into these fruit pops. 

How do you get popsicles out of the mold?

Put a little hot water in a bowl and dip the mold into the water and the cover will come off easily. 

What are some other Homemade Fruit Popsicle ideas?

  • Watermelon
  • Strawberry
  • Raspberry
  • Mixed berries

What can I use if I don't have popsicle molds?

No molds, use paper cups. Fill with the fruit slush and cover with plastic wrap. Get some wooden sticks from the craft store and pop them through the plastic. Then freeze.

If you want a creamier popsicle, add in some yogurt. Greek or regular both work.
