Amaretto cherry frozen yogurt

Alcoholic beverages Italian cuisine

Last summer Serious Eats ran an article about making frozen yogurt. Learning that frozen yogurt can be made with just full fat yogurt, sugar, and salt was a revelation to me. The article discussed using Greek yogurt, too. Alone it makes the frozen yogurt too dense, but when mixed with fruit juice, flavored syrups, or even wine it works perfectly. I pondered various flavor ideas, and finally settled on amaretto as my base flavor. For added texture and flavor I tried a few different mix-ins. My favorite combo was crumbled amaretti cookies and dried tart cherries. If you can't find amaretti cookies, almond biscotti, windmill cookies, or speculoos make good substitutes.
