Sour Cherry Yogurt Ice Pops

This easy, refreshing treat is just perfect for those hot summer days. It's a frozen yogurt on a stick and takes just minutes to put together. It's is important to weigh the cherries after you've pitted them, though. Still, you can easily replace them with any other summer fruit. Raspberries would be a great choice.

Put a bit of the yogurt mixture into each of your molds to a height of about 2cm. Freeze until the mixture begins to set, about 30 minutes.
