Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, almond extract, and sea salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Incorporate the Cherries and Almonds: Gently fold in the halved cherries and sliced almonds into the yogurt mixture. Use a spatula for a delicate touch, making sure the cherries and almonds are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt for balanced flavors.

      Scoop the Mixture: Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion out the yogurt mixture and drop small clusters onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Aim to space them about 2 inches apart to allow for some expansion as they freeze.

        Freeze the Clusters: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the yogurt clusters to freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until they are completely firm to the touch.

          Serve and Enjoy: Once the clusters are frozen, gently remove them from the baking sheet. You can enjoy the sweet and creamy treats immediately or transfer them to an airtight container for storage. Keep them in the freezer for up to 2 weeks to maintain their delightful texture and flavor.
