As the weather heats up and we start craving all things cold, spoil yourself with one of the coolest desserts around, the creamsicle!
A fan-favorite frozen treat for generations, this creamy popsicle is famously refreshingly, but the treats you used to chase the ice cream truck to enjoy are sadly loaded with unhealthy sugars and food colorings.
The good news is you can recreate these colorful pops in your own kitchen! All you need is a couple of minutes and a handful of healthy ingredients, most notably, Heinen’s frozen cherries.
Picked and frozen at peak ripeness for optimal flavor and nutrition, these fruity frozen morsels add the most incredible color and taste to the creamy vanilla base of these treats!
Let’s beat the heat with a batch of these Cherry Vanilla Creamsicles!
