Homemade Cherry Chocolate Popsicles Recipe

Cherries and chocolate are one of those decadent flavor combinations that are truly greater than the sum of their parts.

I am not a huge fan of fudgesicles, but these cherry chocolate fudgesicles are probably my favorite dessert we’ve made this summer. The tart sweetness of the cherries and the chocolate work so perfectly together, and we avoid it from being too overly sweet by only adding a touch of maple syrup (which is completely optional if your cherries are super sweet).

This homemade cherry popsicle recipe is super simple – with just 5-ingredients and less than 5 minutes of prep time – but it tastes like a gourmet ice cream treat you’d shell out serious money for if purchased from the grocery store.

What I loved about these popsicles:

• sugar-free
• great source of protein
• healthy dessert replacement
• they don’t melt quickly – they slowly soften before they get messy so kids have plenty of time to finish them before any messes start
• 3-ingredients and low-prep – including being no-cook
• kids can help make them

I thought these cherry chocolate fudgesicles would be too “sophisticated” for the kids, but I should have known better.

I only made six of these popsicles and all but one got gobbled up by these dessert-seeking munchkins. At least they left me one!

But I honestly don’t mind if the kids sneak all of these popsicles since they are sugar-free and the greek yogurt used to make the fudgesicles rich and creamy gives them a protein boost. You can even swap the cocoa powder called for in the recipe with chocolate protein powder, if desired.

And you don’t have to use cherries, either! Swap out the cherries for strawberries, blueberries, pineapple – any fruit that pairs well with chocolate.

These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to one month.

Tip: use a plain Greek yogurt and add the vanilla flavor yourself. Most commercial vanilla Greek yogurts often use a vanilla syrup to achieve their flavor, adding a sneaky source of sugar to these popsicles.

How to Make Cherry Chocolate Popsicles

Place the cherries in a smoothie blender and puree until smooth.

Divide the cherry puree among the popsicle molds and set aside.

Clean out the blender container (or swap in a clean one) and add the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and maple syrup.

Blitz until combined fully. (Alternatively, you can use a bowl and spatula for the yogurt step.)

Taste and adjust the sweetness to your personal preference.

Divide the mixture amongst 6 popsicle molds and freeze for 4 hours, or overnight.

Pop out (you may need to run them under hot water first) and serve. 

Enjoy immediately.
