Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

1 cup granola (preferably clustery for added texture)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for extra crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherry Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the halved cherries, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Gently stir the mixture until the cherries are evenly coated in the syrup. Set aside for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until it's smooth and creamy. This will create a delightful base for your yogurt bites.

      Combine Ingredients: Carefully fold the cherry mixture into the yogurt, ensuring the cherries are evenly distributed without breaking them apart too much. The vibrant color and flavor of the cherries will beautifully contrast with the yogurt.

        Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line a mini muffin tin with silicone liners or paper liners to facilitate easy removal of the bites once frozen.

          Fill the Tins: Spoon the cherry-yogurt mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full to allow room for expansion while freezing.

            Add Crunch: Generously sprinkle granola over the top of each yogurt cup, gently pressing down to help it adhere. If you’re using chocolate chips, add them on top for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

              Freeze: Carefully transfer the muffin tin to the freezer, allowing it to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours or until the bites are completely solid.

                Serve: Once fully frozen, gently pop the bites out of the muffin tin. They can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks for a convenient snack option.

                  Enjoy: Delight in these refreshing Frozen Yogurt Cherry Crunch Bites straight from the freezer, perfect for a quick treat or dessert!
