Notes

Use the cherries straight from the freezer. Do not thaw them first, or the texture will become too soft.
If your blender struggles, let the cherries sit for 2 to 3 minutes before blending.
Add only a tiny splash of milk if absolutely needed, otherwise the frozen yogurt can become too runny.
Serve immediately for the best creamy soft serve texture.
If you freeze leftovers, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating because the texture will become firmer.
The optional sweetener is not included in the nutrition estimate.
