Cherry Limeade Pops That’ll Make You Forget Summer’s Almost Over 🍒🍋

Main dish photo — *The finished dish — looks amazing, right?*

Okay, so, let’s just dive into the ingredients, shall we?

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

– 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved (seriously, fresh is the way to go; frozen just doesn’t cut it here)
– 1 cup lime juice (squeeze it yourself, trust me)
– 1 cup coconut water (get the good stuff, or you’ll end up with sad pops)
– 1/2 cup sugar (because WHO doesn’t love a little sweetness?)
– 1 cup water
– 1 tablespoon Vegan Gelatin (this stuff is magic for texture)
– Zest of 1 lime (adds that zing that just makes it pop)

Okay, let me tell you a little story. Last summer, I was trying to impress my friends with homemade popsicles at this BBQ. I had this grand idea of “fancy pops” but, spoiler alert—I totally almost burnt my kitchen down trying to make them. Don’t ask. Anyway, I ended up whipping these up last minute, and they were a hit! Everyone was like, “OMG, what are these?” Meanwhile, I’m just trying to act all chill while subtly sweating because I was pretty sure my smoke alarm was gonna go off any second. 😂

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

These popsicles are my summer saviors, fam. They’re fresh, fruity, and sooo easy to whip up! Plus, they’re a great way to use up cherries that are teetering on the edge of being too ripe. I mean, who doesn’t love a win-win? And honestly, it’s just fun to blend stuff together and feel like a kitchen wizard. It’s like a mini-vacation in your mouth!

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

So, here’s the tea—when you’re mixing in that Vegan Gelatin, it’s gotta be dissolved properly. If you don’t, you’ll end up with weird clumps. And trust me, no one wants a bumpy popsicle (just gross). So, get the water warm, sprinkle that gelatin in, and give it a good stir until it’s all even. You’ll thank me later!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Check your popsicle molds! They can be sneaky (like, did you even remember to put the sticks in??).
2. Don’t skimp on the lime zest. Seriously, it makes a HUGE difference.
3. Let ’em freeze long enough! I mean, I know you’re excited, but 3 hours won’t cut it. Go for at least 4-6… or, just overnight if you can resist.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If you make a batch and then instantly devour them all (no judgment, I’ve been there), just pop the extras in a zip-lock bag and back in the freezer. But you *might* want to wrap them in plastic wrap too, so they don’t get that weird freezer burn. Trust me, you don’t want your pops tasting like ice cubes.

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too
