Ingredients
-
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla; full-fat recommended)
-
1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
-
1 tsp olive oil or melted coconut oil
-
1 tsp maple syrup or honey (plus extra for drizzling)
-
¼ tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
-
2 tbsp granola or chopped almonds
Optional toppings: dark chocolate shavings, chia seeds, fresh mint
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: 400°F (200°C).
-
Prep Cherries: Pit cherries if fresh. In a bowl, toss cherries with oil, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, and salt.
-
Roast: Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast 12–15 min until soft, juicy, and syrupy.
-
Prepare Yogurt: Divide yogurt into two bowls. Whip lightly for extra fluff, if desired.
-
Assemble: Spoon warm cherries (and syrup) over yogurt. Drizzle extra maple syrup or honey. Sprinkle granola/nuts and optional toppings.
-
Serve Immediately: Enjoy the contrast of warm cherries and cool yogurt.
Notes
-
Make Ahead: Roast cherries up to 3 days in advance; store in the fridge. Reheat gently before serving.
-
Too Watery? Simmer juices in a small pan 2–4 min to thicken.
-
Less Sweet: Omit syrup/honey in roasting step; drizzle lightly at the end.
-
Regular Yogurt: Strain to thicken for best texture.
