Cherry Lime Ice Pops make a sweet summer treat! Filled with cherries and a touch of lime, only 4 ingredients!
Cherry Lime Ice Pops
Cherry is my favorite ice pop flavor! But the ice pops you get at the store are usually nothing more than red dye, artificial flavors and sugar. These homemade cherry pops are made with real ingredients and taste like real cherries! More fun summer treats are Lemon and Ginger Ice Pops, Pina Colada Ice Pops, Citrus Basil Mojito Ice Pops, and Peaches and Cream Popsicles.
I love the deep red color you get from using real cherries and the flavor is not that artificial cherry taste you get from those imitation flavored pops, it’s richer with a more intense cherry taste.
Pitting cherries can be a chore, so I highly recommend buying a cherry pitter (affil link) there are so many to choose from on Amazon, this is the one I have.
PS- You can find the popsicle molds on Amazon too! I used this mold, with regular popsicle sticks in the photos.
