Who else loves a simple three-ingredient summer recipe? I’m all for easy especially in the heat of the season. The temperatures are soaring here and I can’t be bothered to make anything elaborate, that’s why these Cherry Coke Float Popsicles are gems. They’re beyond easy, kid-friendly and pretty darn tasty!
Let’s be honest, if you’re like me, a pop float is probably not your immediate thought when you think dessert, however, just like me, you would never pass one down. It’s not necessarily my go-to treat, I think of it more of an afternoon snack than a dessert, but seriously they really are delicious. Let’s not stop there, though, let’s turn it into every kids favourite handheld summer treat, a popsicle!
How to make a Cherry Coke Float Popsicles
These are so easy. I don’t think they took me more than 5 minutes to put together. That’s my kinda summer dessert. To start let your ice cream soften a little bit. Spoon a couple tablespoons of ice cream into each popsicle mold. Stuff a halved cherry into each mold and slowly top with cherry coke.
That’s it! put the cover on the popsicle mold, this one here (aff. link) is my favourite. Let it freeze for an hour and then pop a stick in each mold. Leave these to freeze overnight. To remove from the mold, just rinse under cold water for a few minutes and gently pull the popsicles out. Store in an airtight container or ziptop bag.
Give this one a try today, you might already have everything in your kitchen. All it takes is a few minutes and your new favourite summer treat is on its way. Let the kids help, it’s a great recipe for them to pitch in and help with too!
