Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)

½ cup almond milk

¼ cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon almond extract

½ cup sliced almonds (toasted)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherry Mixture: If using fresh cherries, wash, pit, and slice them in half. If using frozen cherries, briefly thaw them. In a blender, combine the cherries, 1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, but leave some small chunks for texture. Set aside.

    Make the Yogurt Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, the remaining honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.

      Swirl It Up: In a suitable container, pour half of the yogurt mixture, then SLOWLY drizzle half of the cherry mixture over it. Use a knife or a spoon to gently swirl the two mixtures together—avoid over-mixing to keep those beautiful swirls visible.

        Repeat and Add Almonds: Pour the remaining yogurt mixture on top, add the rest of the cherry mixture, and use your knife or spoon for another gentle swirl. Lastly, sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds evenly on top for added texture and flavor.

          Freeze: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow the frozen yogurt to freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until firm.

            Serve: Once frozen, remove the container from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop the frozen yogurt into bowls or cones, and enjoy your delightful Cherry Almond Bliss frozen yogurt swirls!
