- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze until almost firm, or transfer to a bowl and freeze until almost firm.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, allow the yogurt to come to room temperature before blending. You can substitute Greek yogurt for a thicker consistency or use almond milk for a dairy-free option. If cherries are out of season, frozen ones work just as well. To enhance flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful treat in chilled bowls or cups for an extra refreshing experience. Garnish with additional fresh cherries or a sprinkle of chocolate pieces. It pairs beautifully with Easy Potato Rolls for a light meal or as a dessert following a savory dish like Broccoli Cups.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Allow it to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping. If it becomes too hard, you can mix in a little milk to soften the texture before serving.
