Cherry Peach Yogurt Pops
I loved the summer when I was a kid. No, it wasn’t because school was out… okay it wasn’t just because school was out. It was actually because every summer once school was out, my mom would pull out her popsicle mold and we’d make popsicles. We made orange juice, lemonade… whatever juice my mom had in the fridge, we’d pour into those molds and freeze so we had something nice and cold to suck on when the heat was unbearable. Now that I have two boys of my own, I also have a popsicle mold and now I’m following in Mom’s footsteps and making my own popsicles for A and T to enjoy.
We started just the way my mom did, with different types of juice popsicles, but that got old pretty quick. So, I started thinking about how I could spice things up. My boys really love those squeezy yogurt sticks, especially when they’re frozen. So, I thought why not make my own? All I needed was some fresh fruit, a little Greek yogurt and a blender and I was all set.
Luckily Kitchenaid had just sent me their newest blender – the Torrent – which made making these delectable yogurt pops even easier. I know, you’re probably thinking how hard is it to blend up some juice and yogurt? Well, the juice and yogurt are a cinch, but the fresh fruit is a little harder. Not for the Torrent though. This blender has such power, that grinding up the fresh cherries and peaches are a piece of cake. Thanks to the awesome milkshake setting everything was mixed up into a silky smooth consistency that poured easily into my popsicle molds. And since I used fresh, sweet cherries and peaches, I barely had to add any sugar. Popsicles without sugar? Yes, please.
The best thing about these pops is that cherries and peaches are currently in season, and with the weather warming up, now is the perfect time to whip up these tasty treats. My boys gave them their seal of approval, I’m sure you will too.
