Coffee-Flavored Sweet Cherry Frozen Yogurt Pie

The layers of coffee, dark cherry, and chocolate flavor make this dessert interesting, and the addition of the quick raspberry sauce at the end makes it pop!

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8, 1 pie wedge plus 1 tablespoon sauce and 1 tablespoon almonds per serving

Ingredients

3 cups frozen vanilla yogurt and 1 cup frozen vanilla yogurt, slightly softened, divided use
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
8 ounces frozen dark sweet cherries, coarsely chopped
2 1/2 ounces chocolate graham crackers, crushed (about 2/3 cup)
1/2 cup slivered or sliced almonds (about 2 ounces)
1/2 cup all-fruit seedless raspberry spread

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a 9-inch deep pie pan (glass preferred), spread 3 cups frozen yogurt.

    Step 2

    In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining 1 cup frozen yogurt and coffee granules. Spoon dollops of the mixture over the vanilla yogurt in the pie pan. Using the back of a spoon, spread the coffee-flavored yogurt over the vanilla yogurt. Sprinkle with the cherries and cookie crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, in a small skillet, dry-roast the almonds over medium heat for about 4 minutes, or until just fragrant, stirring frequently. Remove from the skillet so they don’t burn.

    Step 4

    At serving time, in the same skillet or a small saucepan, heat the raspberry spread over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until slightly melted. If you prefer, put the raspberry spread in a small microwaveable dish and microwave on 100 percent power (high) for about 20 seconds. Spoon about 1 tablespoon over each serving of pie. Sprinkle with the almonds.

  2. Cook’s Tip

    Step 5

    If you prefer, assemble the “pie” in eight 6-ounce ramekins instead of the pie pan. This is an easy way to control portion size.
