Directions
  1. Prepare Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of plain yogurt, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and your preferred sweetener, adjusting between 2 to 6 tablespoons based on your taste. Finally, add in 1 cup of diced fresh or frozen pitted cherries. Ensure the cherries are well-dispersed.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Use a large spoon or spatula to mix everything until smooth. If using an ice cream machine, churn according to the manufacturer's instructions for 20-25 minutes.
  3. Freeze: Transfer the mixture into an airtight container. Smooth the top and seal tightly. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely frozen.
  4. Texture Adjustment: If not using an ice cream machine, stir the mixture every hour for up to three hours while freezing to create a creamier consistency.
  5. Serve: Allow the yogurt to sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before scooping. Serve in bowls, cones, or enjoy directly from the container.
