Cherry Limeade Popsicles are a delicious way to satisfy a sweet tooth! Simple to make and a nice way to cool down on a hot day. Dip cherry popsicles in sparkling wine for a decadent treat!
Cherry Popsicles
I’ve been slightly obsessed with all the popsicle recipes that I’ve seen on Pinterest lately.
I almost bought one of those very cool plastic molds so that I could start trying all the recipes I’ve been drooling over.
For now, I talked myself out of the fourteen dollar purchase and picked up the popsicle sticks at a craft store instead.
I turned this cherry limeade popsicle treat into a decadent dessert by using my dessert shooter glasses to make mini popsicles and dipped them in sparkling wine!
Clever right?
How To Make Cherry Popsicles
It is quite simple to make your own fresh fruit popsicles.
Gather the following Ingredients:
- Cherries
- Fresh lime juice
- Sugar
- Water
You need the following kitchen tools:
- Cherry pitter or sharp knife
- Saucepan
- Blender or food processor
- Popsicle molds or freezable small container
- Ice Cream sticks
You will need to follow these simple steps:
- Prepare fruit – For this recipe we use fresh cherries. Wash and pit the cherries.
This step will take the longest. Be sure to check out my cherry compote recipe for some tips on how to pit cherries.
- Simmer – Add all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes (longer if using frozen cherries).
- Cool – let ingredients cool to room temperature.
- Puree – place cooled ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until blended.
- Freeze – Pour cherry puree in popsicle molds or a freezable small containers.
Can I Use Frozen Cherries?
Yes! Enjoy popsicles all year long and use frozen cherries if fresh isn’t available.
Pick a brand that doesn’t add additional sugar otherwise your popsicles may be extra sweet.
In addition, the simmering time will need to be increased an additional 5-10 minutes.
What Can Be Used In Place Of Popsicle Molds?
If you don’t have a silicone popsicle mold don’t let that stop you from trying to make these popsicles.
Look around your kitchen for some ideas. Here are a couple:
- Small paper cups
- Juice classes
- Shooter glasses
- Small parfait glasses
- Plastic or silicone ice trays
Serve with sparkling wine
Turn these simple cherry popsicles in an extra special (adult) tread and serve them in glasses filled with sparkling wine.
Perfect for a bridal shower, birthday gathering or nice change to a New Year’s Eve celebration.

I love these popsicles and dipping them in wine is almost sinful. I can’t wait!
Producing a good blog is expensive. Every post costs money and then there’s the hosting, design, technical support, time to promote on social media and much more. I have no problem letting people know when I do a sponsored post.
Sandra Shaffer
These are such a excellent treat with the sparkling wine! I’ve really tried to blog bargain style, and have struggled through some tech issue on my own. I eventually figure it out, but with so many tweaks in my “to do” list I need to find someone that is my go-to person! My next project will be a new web design, but I’m not doing that on my own 🙂
Bam's Kitchen
This looks like such a fun adult treat ice lollies and bubbly. Michigan Cherries are so delicious this time of the year. I hope they import some to HK so I can make your delightful treat. Just shared! Take Care, BAM
