Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry Coke
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and pit the fresh cherries to ensure soft, juicy fruit pieces in your popsicles.
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, gently combine Cherry Coke, water, lemon juice, and sugar (if using). Stir carefully to dissolve the sugar while preserving some carbonation.
- Add Fruit to Molds: Place a few fresh cherries into each popsicle mold to add bursts of flavor and color inside each frozen treat.
- Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour the liquid mixture into each mold, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion during freezing.
- Insert Sticks and Freeze: Insert popsicle sticks into each mold and place the tray in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
Notes
- Use silicone or flat popsicle molds for easier removal and even freezing.
- Mix ingredients gently and pour quickly to help retain carbonation.
- Add small chunks of fresh or maraschino cherries for extra texture.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity before freezing.
- Freeze thoroughly to maintain texture and structure.
- Store leftover popsicles in airtight containers or wrap individually to prevent freezer burn.
- For variation, try diet Cherry Coke, add lime juice or zest, or mix in vanilla yogurt for a creamy version.
