Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and chopped

½ cup dark chocolate chips

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Pinch of sea salt

Cooking spray or parchment paper (for lining)

Instructions
 

Prep the Cherries: Start by washing and pitting the fresh cherries. Once pitted, chop them into small pieces and set aside.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

      Mix Yogurt Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the chopped cherries into the yogurt mixture until evenly distributed.

          Prepare for Freezing: If using, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray. If using a silicone mold, you can skip this step.

            Form the Discs: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop dollops of the yogurt-cherry mixture onto the prepared baking sheet/mold. Flatten each dollop slightly with the back of a spoon to form into discs approximately 1-inch thick.

              Drizzle Chocolate: Once all the discs are formed, take the melted chocolate and use a spoon to drizzle it over each yogurt disc for that extra chocolatey goodness.

                Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the yogurt discs freeze for at least 2-4 hours or until completely solid.

                  Serve: Once frozen, carefully remove the discs from the baking sheet or mold. If they stick, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before removing. Enjoy right away or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

                    Optional Toppings: For added flair, consider topping with crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before freezing.
