Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups thick Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen pitted cherries
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Optional Toppings

  • Extra shredded coconut
  • Finely chopped cherries
  • Toasted coconut
  • Chopped almonds
  • Dark chocolate chips
  • Cacao nibs

Instructions

  • Puree the cherries in a food processor.
    Place the Greek yogurt, protein powder, vanilla, maple syrup or honey if using, and sea salt into a bowl.
    Stir until smooth and creamy.
    In a 12 muffin tin (preferably silicone) or a chocolate or bar mold, alternate between a layer of the yogurt mixture followed by a layer of cherries to make a beautiful swirl. Repeat until the muffin tins are filled.
    Sprinkle with extra coconut or your chosen toppings.
    Freeze for 2–3 hours, or until completely firm.
    Remove from the molds and transfer to an airtight freezer container.
    Allow to sit for 2–3 minutes before eating for a softer, creamier texture.
    Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
    Recipe Tips
    For an especially beautiful presentation, reserve a few small pieces of cherry and press them into the top of each bite before freezing. A sprinkle of coconut makes them look even more inviting.
    Note: If you can’t get your hands on fresh cherries, you can also use canned cherries or replace them with any other stone fruit like apricots, plums, nectarines or blackberries.
