I’m pretty sure that cherries are one of my favorite fruits! Maybe because they’re so seasonal; you can only really get fresh ones in the summer. Or, maybe just because they’re so delicious! I love the dark cherries, but if your family prefers Rainer cherries, feel free to use those in this Double Cherry Popsicles recipe.

This is the penguin from the Polar Pop Mold. He’s so cute!

This is the orca! I think he was my favorite!

I got these really cute (affiliate link) Polar Pop Molds from Zoku, so I wanted to try them out. They were tons of fun! And, you know I love all the ocean themed stuff! My Popsicle recipe makes a soft Popsicle (I’m really not a fan of eating hard Popsicles; hurts my teeth!). So, my polar bear pop broke because he was too soft. But, other than that, these totally worked! So, I might suggest a bit more lemonade if you make these in these cute molds. The extra lemonade will make a harder textured Popsicle. If you have kids, I think these Polar Pop Molds would be a huge hit this summer (Zoku also has really cute molds in other themes; hop over and check them out!).

If you don’t have Popsicle molds, you can still make these! I used little plastic wine glasses as my alternative method for making pops. I covered the glass with a piece of painter’s tape or masking tape, cut a slit in the tape, and placed the Popsicle stick through the slit in the tape to hold it up while it froze. Then, once they’re frozen, just run the outside of the plastic glass under a little warm water, and they release easily!

Small plastic glasses, with tape to hold the sticks in place will totally work if you don’t have a great pop mold

And, I’m not the only one thinking that Popsicles are a great way to cool down this summer.
