Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (you can use plain or vanilla)

1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and sliced in half

½ cup raw almonds, finely chopped

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your preferred sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon almond extract (optional, for a richer almond flavor)

A pinch of sea salt

Cooking spray or parchment paper (for lining your baking sheet)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Alternatively, lightly coat it with cooking spray to ensure the clusters don’t stick. Set this prepared baking sheet aside for later use.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt. Mix in the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract (if you’re using it), and a pinch of sea salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and well blended. Taste the mixture to adjust the sweetness as desired.

      Incorporate Cherries and Almonds: Gently fold the halved cherries and chopped almonds into the yogurt mixture. Be careful to combine them evenly without breaking the cherries. This will ensure that every bite has a delightful mix of flavors and textures.

        Form the Clusters: Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion out the yogurt-cherry-almond mixture and drop it onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small clusters. Keep a little space between each cluster, as they may slightly spread during freezing.

          Freeze the Clusters: Place the baking sheet into the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until they are completely firm and solid.

            Serve the Treats: Once frozen, gently remove the clusters from the baking sheet. You can serve them immediately for a delightful snack, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.

              Enjoy: Treat yourself to the refreshing flavors of your Frozen Yogurt Cherry Almond Clusters as a healthy dessert or snack that’s perfect for any time of day!
