Cherry Cheesecake Frozen Yogurt

OH. MY. This is SO good. I really like frozen yogurt, especially when it has a bit of "tang" like real yogurt. I don't like my frozen yogurt to taste too much like ice cream - I really like a more yogurt-y taste. And this delicious version has the addition of cream cheese, and my favorite summer fruit - cherries! It is SO good. Make it today!

And it couldn't be easier (except for pitting and chopping the cherries, which takes a little time). First, combine the softened cream cheese and the sugar in the bowl of your food processor.



Process together until smooth, then add the lemon juice and yogurt.



(If you don't have a food processor, you can get a good workout by just doing this by hand!)

Pour the mixture into your ice cream freezer, and process.



In the last 5 minutes, add the cherries.



When it's all mixed together well, transfer to a freezer safe bowl.



Freeze for several hours or overnight, and enjoy!

Cherry Cheesecake Frozen Yogurt

1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened (low fat is fine)
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
3 cups plain yogurt
2 cups pitted, chopped fresh cherries

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the cream cheese and sugar. Process until smooth. Add the lemon juice and yogurt and process until smooth. (Alternatively, in a large bowl, mash the cream cheese with sugar until thoroughly combined; stir in the lemon juice, and mix in the yogurt, about a cup at a time, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.)

Pour the mixture into an ice cream freezer, and freeze. Add the cherries during the last 5 minutes of processing. Transfer the frozen yogurt into a freezer-safe covered container, and freeze for several hours. Makes 8-10 servings.
