An easy a delicious frozen dessert idea.

Even better, this recipe has simple ingredients that help make it so good!

 

If you tried my Sugar Free Strawberry Frozen Yogurt recipe then you will probably like this one too.

Both frozen dessert recipes feature fruit and yogurt. However, this recipe is for cherries and that recipe is all about the strawberries.

 

Going on a brief tangent.....I like making my own ice rather than using my ice maker. Here is one reason why I like making my own ice.
There are some super cool ice cube trays that make drinking everything more fun!

 

So you may be wondering, can you just freeze yogurt to make frozen yogurt.

I know that this is an easy recipe but, simply putting yogurt into the freezer may not result in the best dessert.
The problem with placing a tub or container of yogurt in the freezer and expecting to come out as frozen yogurt is that yogurt contains a lot of water. The result can mean that you may get a giant frozen yogurt ice cube and not that yummy dessert that you were craving.

Here is how to make a frozen yogurt dessert from just yogurt.

You could simply freeze the yogurt but, not for more than two hours and be sure to stir if while freezing a couple of times in the process. Another option would be to drain the water from the yogurt (good luck!) and then freeze the yogurt.

 

I have also wondered if frozen yogurt Sugar Free?

Obviously, a recipe has sugar in it if the sugar is added to it in some form.
When regular table sugar is added to a recipe such as this one, it also adds additional texture in addition to the sweet taste.

This sweet taste in this recipe comes from natural sources.

Since we are not adding sugar to this recipe, we will depend upon the cherries to offer both flavor and some of the texture. Adding sugar alternative or honey to this recipe are also options.

 

Here are some tips for making this frozen yogurt recipe.

I just mentioned that the flavor and sweetness of this dessert come from the fruit itself rather than adding sugar. However, I also mentioned that if you are wanting added sweetness you can add sugar alternative or honey as an optional ingredient.

Here are some more helpful tips for you.

  1. To make this in an ice cream maker, simply mix the ingredients as directed in this recipe. Transfer the mixture in the refrigerator for about an hour. Then follow the directions on your machine to make your frozen yogurt.
  2. This recipe is made with cherries. However, feel free to use another fruit instead. Blueberries are also a good choice for example.
  3. You can make this recipe in a blender, food processor, or what I use, a Vitamix.
  4. Make this a cherry cheesecake frozen yogurt. Simply add a package of room temperature cream cheese (four ounce for subtle flavor, eight ounce package for more flavor).
  5. Yes, you can use frozen cherries to make this frozen yogurt. I suggest using cherries that are slightly thawed (not fully frozen, not fully unfrozen) for best results.

 

Here is how to prepare cherries for this recipe.

Prepare your cherries by rinsing or washing them (what you usually do to clean them).
Remove the cherry pits and then cut them in half.

Also mentioned was how to prepare the cherries for this recipe.

What you will need to make this frozen yogurt recipe.

 

  • Cherries- 2 ½ cups (about one pound). Your cherries should have the pits and stems removed and then be cut in half. Frozen cherries are okay to use however, I suggest that they be slightly defrosted (not fully frozen) when you add the to this recipe. Also, make sure that there are no added ingredients such as sugar.
  • Plain or Vanilla Yogurt- 1 ½ cups. If you choose to use Greek Yogurt, use 1 cup of yogurt+ ¼ cup of milk that has some fat in it to get a better texture. Half and Half may also work in this recipe (have not tried it myself).
  • Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.
  • Optional- honey or sugar alternative equivalent to 1-2 tablespoons of sugar.

How to make this frozen yogurt.

 

  • Prepare the strawberries by cleaning them and removing the stems and pit and then slicing them in half. Measure the amount needed for this recipe after preparing them.
  • In a food processor or study blender, combine the ingredients until well blended and smooth. This should take one to two minutes most likely. You may need to stop the machine periodically to scrape the sides of the container.
  • Transfer the mixture to a freezer container such as one of these covered. Freeze until the mixture reaches a frozen consistency- about 2 ½ to 3 hours.
  • Allow the frozen mixture to sit out for 10-15 minutes before serving.
  • To make this sugar free frozen yogurt in an ice cream maker, skip the freezer and place the mixture in the refrigerator for an hour. Then follow the manufacturers instructions to finish the frozen yogurt.
