Equipment

A popsicle mould
Chopstick

Ingredients

20 ounces cherries (570g)
4 to 6 tablespoons sugar (depending on how sweet your cherries are)
juice and zest of one lemon
⅔ cup water (160ml / 5.3 fl oz)
1 cup vanilla Greek Yogurt (0% fat) (245g / 8.6 ounces)
6 tablespoons water

Instructions

Pit and half the cherries. Add them to a saucepan with the sugar, lemon zest and juice and ⅔ cup of water.
Put the pan on a high heat for around 10 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the cherries have softened.
Add the cherries to a blender (carful, they're hot!) and blend until smooth.
In a jug, mix the yogurt and 6 tablespoons of water until combined.
Fill each popsicle mould halfway with the blended cherries, then top up with a yogurt mixture leaving a little space at the top.
Use a chopstick to mix the layers together, then add the tops and put in the freezer for about 4 hours or until frozen.
Depending on your mould, you may need to run the popsicles under warm water to release them.

Notes

You may make more or less popsicles depending on the size of your moulds - mine were pretty standard.
