Tips:
- For a sweeter slushy, use frozen ripe cherries. If using frozen unsweetened cherries, add 1/4 cup of sugar or honey to the recipe.
- If you don't have a blender, you can mash the cherries and ice cubes in a bowl with a fork or potato masher.
- For a smoother slushy, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the popsicle molds.
- You can also add other fruits to the slushy, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.
- For a fun twist, try adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt to each popsicle mold before freezing.
