You probably know the famous German Black Forest Cake. This gateau made with chocolate, cherries, cherry brandy and a lot of cream is a classic and famous all over the world. Our today`s recipe is a Black Forest Cake as a popsicle. It’s without cherry brandy, so it’s non-alcoholic. And instead of cream we use Greek yoghurt – less calories, more freshness.

01

Clean and pit the cherries. In a pan add cherries, water and sugar and let it caramelize. Add a few drops of vanilla extract and lemon juice. You should end up with syrupy deep red cherries. Let them cool.

02

For the chocolate layer heat the chocolate in a bain-marie to slowly melt it. Let it cool down a minute, add the milk and immediately whisk with a spatula to prevent it gets firm.

03

Then add the greek yogurt and whisk quickly. You should end up with a sort of fudge. Set aside.

04

Take your popsicles molds and start layering 1 teaspoon of cherries, 1 teaspoon of chocolate layer, 1 teaspoon of greek yogurt (white layer) and so on.

05

Freeze the popsicles for 4 hours at least.

06

Melt some chocolate for the decoration in a bain-marie. Drizzle the ice pops with it.
