Recipe: Berry Cherry Yogurt Popsicles (using Greek yogurt)

Desserts - Frozen
BERRY CHERRY YOGURT POPSICLES
"Combining summer's sweet cherries and tart-sweet blackberries with tangy yogurt creates delicious popsicles - a cool treat to make with kids and enjoy all summer long."



"Though popsicle molds may be used, we are calling for small paper cups and wooden popsicle sticks or plastic spoons because these are readily available. Making these pops with kids is fun and educational. Kids and the kid in you are sure to enjoy licking these berry-cherry-licious pops on hot summer days."

1 1/2 cups pitted fresh or frozen cherries*
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
1 Tbsp. honey
24 oz. vanilla Greek yogurt
12 (3 oz.) paper cups and 12 popsicle sticks or plastic spoons**

In small mixing bowl mash cherries and berries. Drizzle on honey and mix together.

In paper cups, layer alternating spoonfuls of yogurt and fruit until full. Place popsicle stick or plastic spoon in each cup. Freeze.

When ready to serve, tear paper cup off popsicle and enjoy.

Makes 12 paper cup popsicles

*To pit cherries, rinse them, pull out stems, insert a clean nut or crab picking tool, tweezers or unbent large paper clip, twist around the pits and pop them out. You also can pop out pits by pressing cherries down on a pastry tip. Kids will love the hands on activity, and the cherry stains on their hands to prove their cherry-pitting prowess.

**For elegant summer dessert, in small glass ramekins, custard cups or clear plastic tumblers, layer yogurt and fruit 3/4 full. (Number of servings will vary depending on size of dish, about 6-10.) Cover with plastic wrap and freeze. An hour before serving, partially thaw in refrigerator. Serve garnished with fresh berries and sprig of fresh mint. Another option is to remove frozen dessert by dipping bottom of dish in warm water. Serve inverted in dessert bowl garnished with fresh berries, drizzle of chocolate syrup and sprig of fresh mint.

ABOUT BLACKBERRIES:
Blackberries with their gorgeous black pigment also are abundant in anthocyanins and other phytochemicals such as ellagic acid and quercetin, which may help fight cancer. Like cherries, they are good sources of fiber and vitamin C. Berries also make the AICR Foods That Fight Cancer grade. Look for blackberries that are fragrant, not mushy and black. Skip purple or dark red blackberries because these were picked before being ripe. Store unwashed blackberries in refrigerator loosely wrapped, wash just before using and drain. Make sure to eat or freeze blackberries in three to four days.
