Frozen Cherry Limeade Clouds
Cherry Limeade Fluff That’ll Make You Smile 😍
Okay, do you ever just want something super refreshing but also kinda fun to eat? Like, not just a glass of lemonade but something that feels like a celebration? Yeah, me too! That’s why I’m all about these Frozen Cherry Limeade Clouds. They’re like little bites of summer, even in the middle of winter.
Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients
So, here’s the deal. You need some basic stuff, but trust me, it’s all yummy! Grab 2 cups of frozen cherries (like, those are basically nature’s candy), 1 cup of coconut water (the good stuff that makes you feel like you’re on a beach), 1/2 cup of lime juice (fresh is best, but bottled works too if you’re in a pinch), and 1/2 cup of agave syrup (because we want a lil’ sweetness, right?). Oh, and don’t forget the 1 cup of vegan gelatin (yup, this is what makes it all fluffy), 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract (it’s the secret sauce), 1 cup of ice, plus some lime slices and cherries for garnish.
So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly
Okay, story time! Last summer, I was at this BBQ, and it was HOT. Like, I was melting into a puddle. I needed something to cool me down, and my friend Jess whipped these up. I was like, “What is this sorcery?” They were so light and refreshing, and I couldn’t stop eating them. I went back for seconds…and thirds. 😅 So now, every time I’m feeling a little too warm or just want a sweet treat, I whip these up. They’re my go-to, and they secretly impress everyone, and I love that!
The One Trick That Changes Everything
Listen up—here’s the key: when you’re melting that vegan gelatin, don’t let it boil. Just heat it gently. Like, low and slow. If it gets too hot, it can turn into gloop and nobody wants that!
Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)
– Tip 1: Blend those cherries until they’re smooth or you’ll end up with chunky clouds. Not ideal.
– Tip 2: Keep an eye on the gelatin! (Seriously, no boiling.)
– Tip 3: When you fold in the ice, be gentle. We want clouds, not a smoothie! Trust me, I’ve made that mistake. 😩
– Tip 4: If you’re using fresh cherries instead of frozen, add a few ice cubes to the blender to keep it cold.
How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)
So, here’s the thing. If you can manage to keep these around for more than a day (good luck), just pop them back in the freezer in an airtight container. But honestly, they’ll probably be gone before you know it!
If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too
If you’re into this kind of fluffy goodness, you gotta try my Mango Coconut Popsicle or the Strawberry Basil Sorbet. Both are total crowd-pleasers and super easy to make.
So, what do you think? Are you ready to whip up some Cherry Limeade Clouds? What’s your favorite summer treat? 🥳
