  3. Pour the base into an empty tubpint, up to the max fill line. Put the lid on and freeze on a level shelf for 24 hours.
  4. Take the lid off, set the tubpint in the outer bowl and lock it into the machine. Run Frozen Yogurt.
  5. If it looks very powdery, add 15 ml whole milk1 tbsp whole milk1 tbsp whole milk25 ml whole milk1½ tbsp whole milk1½ tbsp whole milk and run Re-spin. Otherwise skip it: Mix-in smooths the tubpint too.
  6. Pat the chopped cherries dry with paper towel, so they do not bleed into the froyo.
  7. With a spoon, dig a hole about 4 cm1½ in wide down to the bottom of the tubpint. Add 60 g pitted dark sweet cherries90 ml pitted dark sweet cherries⅓ cup + 1 tbsp pitted dark sweet cherries90 g pitted dark sweet cherries140 ml pitted dark sweet cherries½ cup + 1 tbsp pitted dark sweet cherries, then run Mix-in.

To serve: Top with a few whole cherries, stems and all.

My notes

Tips

  • Allulose keeps it soft and light. Where it is not sold, use sugar for a classic froyo with about 35 kcal more per serving, or a 1:1 granulated sweetener. Erythritol blends freeze harder, so let the tubpint stand for 10 minutes before spinning and plan on a Re-spin.
  • Vanilla bean paste gives visible specks. A spoon of honey in place of the sugar gives a rounder flavor.
  • Frozen cherries work. Chop them while half-frozen, then pat them dry.

Why it works

Greek yogurt is thick and high in protein, so it freezes creamy with very little fat. The cherries go in with Mix-in, so they stay in juicy pieces instead of turning the froyo pink.
