Simple Cherry Garcia Frozen Yogurt

Thankfully, Lis gave Tom and I an electric ice cream maker for a housewarming gift and with this warm summer weather and the current heat wave we have been making very good use of it! This is our favorite recipe out of the few we've tried, and it is so simple you really can't mess it up. It is so delicious, and much healthier than Ben & Jerry's!

Preparation Time: 5-10 minutes prep, 20-30 minutes freeze time

Ingredients:
Fresh Cherries, coarsely chopped
Vanilla Yogurt
A couple splashes of milk
A drizzle of honey
Chocolate Chips

Directions:
Chop the cherries and place in a bowl. Add the amount of yogurt you'd like, milk, and honey. Mix well. Follow manufacturer directions for your ice cream maker to freeze.

Notes:
*My ice cream maker recommends adding the chips 5 minutes before it's done freezing, but you can also just use them as a topping.

*I didn't put exact measurements because you can really customize the recipe to your own liking, that's the best part! If you want a starting point: I typically use half of a large container of yogurt and probably about 1 cup of coarsely chopped cherries (we love cherries!), literally two splashes of milk, and about 1 tbsp honey. The cherries add enough sweetness for us so other than the honey, we don't add any additional sugar.
