Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Halve the pitted cherries and put them in a small saucepan with 3 tablespoons of the honey and a splash of water. Simmer over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring, until the cherries soften.

  2. Remove from the heat and let the cherry mixture cool for 20 minutes. Blend it until mostly smooth, leaving a few small pieces if you like.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk the light coconut milk, Greek yogurt, and the remaining 1/4 cup honey until smooth and fully combined.

  4. Fold the cooled cherry mixture into the yogurt base until evenly swirled. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to chill.

  5. Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker for 20 to 25 minutes, until thick and creamy.

  6. Spoon the frozen yogurt into a freezer-safe container, press parchment onto the surface, cover, and freeze for at least 1 hour until scoopable.
