Diabetic Cherry Vanilla Popsicles Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the cherries, maple syrup, cinnamon and almond extract to a simmer in a small pot over high heat. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the cherries are juicy and soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, and set aside.
• In another small-to-medium pot, bring the coconut milk and vanilla bean seeds and pods to a simmer over high heat, whisking occasionally. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, let cool for 5 minutes, then whisk in the honey and vanilla extract. Remove and reserve the vanilla bean pod. Pour the mixture into a pitcher or measuring jug and set aside.
• Place a strainer over the blender jar. Add the cooked cherries, and press out the juice. Add 1/3 of the cherry pulp and 1 cup of the coconut milk mixture, and blend until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of liquid. Refrigerate. Divide the remaining coconut milk mixture among ice pop molds, and place them in the freezer until semifrozen, about 1 hour. Remove them from the freezer, and divide the remaining cherry pulp among the molds. Top with the blended cherry-coconut mixture, place the lids on top, add sticks and freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
• To remove the ice pops, dip the molds in warm water for a few seconds, then carefully pull on the sticks to release.

Steps:

• Combine complimentary flavors of sugar-free Jello and Kool-Aid in a 2-quart container and mix in boiling water.
• Stir until the Jello is disolved.
• Add cold water to make 2 quarts.
• Pour into popsicle molds or dixie cups (with wooden craft sticks) and place in freezer until frozen.

Steps:

• Prepare the pudding with the milk.
• Place a tablespoon of pudding into freezer-pop molds. Place a tablespoon of pie filling on top of the pudding. Continue until the molds are full. Using a knife, swirl the pudding and pie filling. Don't mix, just swirl. Place the sticks into the molds.
• Place in the freezer until frozen. If you have leftover pudding and pie filling, transfer the pie filling into a non-metal container, cover and refrigerate. Cover the pudding on the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin forming on the top.
• Repeat the process to make more or use in another recipe.
