Ingredients

Cherry Compote

2 cups Bing cherries washed, pitted and cut in half
2 tbsp Honey or agave
1 tsp Lemon zest
2 tbsp Lemon juice

Coconut Yogurt

2 cups Coconut yogurt
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

Cherry Compote

Wash, pit and cut cherries in half. Place inside a medium saucepan. Add honey, lemon zest and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until juices begin to release and cherries become slightly wilted. Set aside and cool completely.
Add cooled cherry mixture to food processor. Pulse a couple times to break up the cherries. Blend mixture until almost pureed but still have some chunks of cherries.

Coconut Yogurt

Scoop yogurt into bowl. Add vanilla extract and whisk together. Gently fold in pureed cherry mixture, making sure to leave streaks of cherries to create that swirly tie-dye look for the popsicles.
Spoon mixture into popsicle mold. Make sure to leave at least 1/4" space at the top to allow the liquid to expand. If your popsicle molds have slots for sticks, you can insert them before freezing. If not, freeze for 2 hours and then insert popsicle stick in the center of each one. Freeze for 6-8 hours or overnight.

Notes

*Yield will vary depending on the size of your popsicle molds.
