Cool off with these nostalgic Frozen Cherry Cola Float Pops, a delightful summer treat that combines the flavors of cherry cola, vanilla ice cream, and maraschino cherries in a frozen dessert on a stick.
Ingredients
Scale
Cherry Cola Mixture:
- 1 1/2 cups cherry cola (regular or diet)
- 1/2 cup cherry juice or cherry soda
Vanilla Ice Cream Mix:
- 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream (softened)
- 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries (plus a few whole for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Cherry Cola Mixture: In a medium bowl or measuring cup with a spout, combine the cherry cola and cherry juice.
- Add Cherries: Fold in the chopped maraschino cherries.
- Fill Molds: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top for expansion. Drop a whole maraschino cherry into each mold for a fun surprise if desired.
- Freeze: Insert sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours or until fully set.
- Serve: To release, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds.
Gently stir in the softened vanilla ice cream until slightly mixed but still a bit swirly for a float-like texture.
Notes
- Use dairy-free vanilla ice cream to make it vegan.
- For a boozy version, add a splash of cherry liqueur or bourbon.
- These popsicles make a nostalgic and refreshing summer treat for both kids and adults.
