Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup cherries, pitted and halved (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup almond meal or crushed graham crackers (to add a pie crust flavor)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Popsicle molds or small cups with sticks

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherry Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the halved cherries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherries have softened and released their juices. Once done, remove from heat and allow to cool at room temperature.

    Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, almond meal (or crushed graham crackers), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy—this will serve as your decadent pie filling.

      Layer the Mixtures: Begin assembling your pops by spooning a layer of the yogurt mixture into each popsicle mold or cup, filling them about one-third full. Next, add a spoonful of the cooled cherry filling on top. Follow this with another layer of the yogurt mixture until the molds are about two-thirds full. Finally, add another spoonful of cherry filling and use a toothpick to gently swirl the mixtures together, creating a delightful marbled effect.

        Insert Sticks: If using disposable cups, carefully place a popsicle stick in the center of each cup to ensure it stands upright. For traditional popsicle molds, insert the sticks according to the instructions provided with the molds.

          Freeze: Transfer the filled molds or cups to the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Serve: To remove the pops from the molds, run warm water over the exterior of the molds for a few seconds to help loosen them. Once removed, enjoy your refreshing Frozen Yogurt Cherry Pie Pops, perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day!
