CO YO Cherries

This festive sweet treat contrasts the slight bite of coconut yoghurt alternative with the sweetness of cherries.

Ingredients:

2 cups fresh cherries

Piece of fresh ginger about 6-8 cm long, or substitute ginger syrup

1/4-1/2 cup sugar, to taste

400g CO YO coconut milk yoghurt alternative, natural flavour

1/4 cup chopped nuts

Method:

Place cherries in small saucepan with sugar and 1/4 cup water.

Chop fresh ginger into pieces then squeeze each in a garlic crush to capture the juice.

Alternatively leave out the sugar and add 1/2 cup ginger syrup to cherries.

Heat the cherries, sugar, ginger (or ginger syrup) and simmer until cherries soften.

Mash lightly with a fork and allow to cool.

Add your choice of chopped nuts (macadamias or brazil nuts are excellent), stir through CO YO and serve.
