    Cherry Popsicles / Ice Lollies with Dark Chocolate and Crushed Almonds | Veggie Desserts Blog

    Coconut cherry popsicles are a great way to use up the season's bounty. These frozen treats are creamy, flavourful and drizzled with dark chocolate then sprinkled with crushed almonds.

    I love cherries. No, I adore cherries. There's something so special about them. They're tasteless until the height of summer, when suddenly the trees burst with delicious fruit and the greengrocer is pile high.

    I always make the most of cherry season buy buying them up in bulk. I usually just eat them straight up and unadulterated, but sometimes I have so many that I need to get more creative. They're brilliant in smoothies and lovely in compote, but when it's hot out I want cherry popsicles.

    These cherry popsicles are creamy and rich with a lovely flavour from fresh cherries. The cherry flavour mixes well with the coconut, milk and almond. When the dark chocolate drizzle hits the frozen ice lollies, it hardens instantly into a decadent shell. Perfect sprinkled with crushed almonds.

    If you're looking for other unusual ice lolly/popsicle recipes, you must try my blackberry oat breakfast popsicles or my apple popsicles.

    I know, pitting cherries can be a HUGE pain. I use a cherry pitter though, which makes it much easier. It's one of those gadgets that you never knew you needed but you can't live without. I only use it occasionally (for cherries and olives) but it saves a lot of frustration. It's inexpensive and so useful during cherry season. It's great for my lime and fresh cherry pie.

      I found these when searching for A2 milk. I switched to it a few months ago and it helped my stomache a lot. Made these yesterday and love them.

      I really like the addition of chocolate and nuts to finish the popsicle. We will have to try it one day soon.

        I love this! I did just chop up some semi sweet chocolate chips and blitz them into the cherry batter before freezing as I knew I wasn't likely to drizzle and dress them out. Delicious! My current favorite homemade popsicle.

      I love cherries but unfortunately, my pitter broke. Strangely, the latter is very hard to find in the shops! Fantastic looking lollies!

      These are stunning - what a gorgeous color! And I love the way they are dipped in the chocolate and almonds. Just a little decadence - not too much, not too little!

        Yes, a little decadence! I love the crunchy nuts and hardened chocolate - but to cover them fully is just too much.

      Ooh look at those! I just love that dark, dusky pink colour that only cherries seem to give - super classy with the dark chocolate and nuts. We have a little cherry tree which produces 5 or 6 cherries each year - not quite enough for these beauties but they taste so good straight from the tree!

      OH wow, I adore cherries! Most lollies are just watery orange flavour and taste of very little but these look amazing. And the chocolate coating is a stroke of genius!

      These popsicles are positively drool-worthy. I adore cherries, and when you throw chocolate in the mix—well, I'm over the moon. I'm also a huge fan of creamy popsicles. The combination of flavors these treats have going on sounds scrumptious!
