1. Drain the cherries well, then pat them dry and roughly chop them, reserving a few whole cherries for garnish if desired.

2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine half the chopped cherries with the white sugar and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the cherries soften, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the creme de cassis and simmer 2 minutes more, then let the cherry mixture cool to room temperature.

4. In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla Greek yogurt, evaporated milk, half-and-half and milk until smooth.

5. Fold the cooled cherry mixture and the remaining chopped cherries into the yogurt base.

6. Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, until cold.

7. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions, about 20 to 25 minutes, until thick and soft-set.

8. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, press parchment or plastic wrap onto the surface, and freeze at least 4 hours until firm. Scoop and serve.
