Ingredients

  • 16 oz frozen cherries or other frozen fruit of choice
  • 6 oz vanilla yogurt full fat
  • 4 tsp sugar or honey
  • 2 tbsp fudge sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tbsp pistachios dry roasted & chopped

Instructions

  • In a food processor, fitted with the metal blade, add the cherries, yogurt, and sugar. Pulse until all fruit has been incorporated and the ice cream is creamy.
  • Remove immediately into chilled serving bowls. Top with fudge sauce and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios. Serve.

Notes

Tips for Storing
  • Best eaten fresh. The texture is at its peak right out of the processor, so plan to serve it immediately if you can.
  • Freeze for later in an airtight container. Scoop leftovers into a freezer-safe container, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface, and freeze for up to two weeks.
  • Thaw before scooping. Frozen leftovers will be quite firm. Let the container sit on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes before trying to scoop.
  • Do not refreeze after thawing. Once it softens, serve it and do not refreeze, as the texture will become icy and grainy.
  • Portion into individual servings before freezing. This makes thawing easier and helps keep portions in check.
