Tips

  • Frozen pitted cherries are the easy choice and are sold all year.
  • For a nut-free bowl, use oat or dairy milk and skip the almond topping.
  • Dutch-process cocoa gives a darker color and a smoother taste.

Why it works

Cocoa adds rich flavor and dry solids that soak up water, so the bowl spins thick and fudgy. Banana adds creaminess and natural sweetness.
