Cherry Swirl Parfait

(Gluten-free)


Ingredients

  • 2 cups fat-free plain yogurt

  • 2 cups sweet black cherries, pitted

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup dried, unsweetened coconut


Directions

Optional: You can increase the yogurt's density by putting it in a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter over a bowl. Refrigerate. After 2 hours, you'll see about 1/2 cup liquid to discard. Transfer the yogurt to a mixing bowl.

Halve the cherries. Mix the cherries, vanilla extract, and coconut into the yogurt. Refrigerate until ready to serve in stemmed cocktail glasses (just spoon it in).
