Celebrating the irresistible goodness of fresh cherries with this Cherry Frozen Yogurt. Is there anything as lovely as glistening sweet-tart cherries?ย When they're in season, I buy them by the cartload.

Making frozen treats does not have to be complicated at all. ย Keep the ingredients simple, play around with the recipe a bit till you get what you enjoy.ย An ice cream maker is a great appliance to have for making ice creams and frozen yogurts. But not to worry, if you don't have one, use a blender or good ol' elbow grease!
Why We Love Frozen Cherry Yogurt
Frozen yogurts are so fabulous. ย Creamy and sweet, they make for a perfect low-calorie, healthy dessert. ย Let the delicious, in-season fruit do all the talking. Add more fruit to intensify the flavor, and add more yogurt to enhance the smoothness. They are easier to make than ice creams, but taste just as sensational!
How To Make
This is really one easy peasy lovely light dessert for those hot summer days. Tangy thick yogurt, sweet fat juicy cherries, and some honey to sweeten the deal. That's all you need here. The chocolate chips are optional, but they add a touch of indulgence, that we all love. Cherries and chocolate make a beautiful combination, a classic. You could add any nuts of your choice here too, for that extra crunch.
- Put the yogurt, cherries, and honey in a blender. Whiz until smooth. Taste, and adjust for sweetness.
- Chill the mixture well and freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturerโs instructions.
- Add the cherries and chocolate chips ( if using) to the churning mixture in about ten minutes. Continue with the ice cream maker's instructions.
- Once the frozen yogurt is ready, you can serve it immediately or turn it out in a pan and freeze it for 6- 8 hours to get a slightly harder/ scoopable consistency.
This recipe is a keeper, trust me. Make this once, and you'll keep going back to it!
Enjoy your summer folks! Our wonderful summer fruit bounty is what makes this scorching heat bearable.
