Ingredients
- 9 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, cut in 1-inch pieces
- 1 ½ cups whole milk, heated to a simmer
- 4 cups lowfat vanilla yogurt
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup maraschino cherry juice
- 1 cup drained maraschino cherries, roughly chopped
Preparation
- Place the chocolate in a food processor fitted with the metal "s" blade. Pulse to chop. With the machine running, add the warmed milk in a slow, steady stream and process until the chocolate is melted.
- Add the yogurt, sugar, and cherry juice; process until smooth. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours.
- Turn the machine on; pour the mixture into freezer bowl, and let mix until thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of freezing, add the chopped cherries.
- The frozen yogurt will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the frozen yogurt to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
