FREEZE: 4 hours

300ml double cream

180ml maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla bean paste

500g Greek yoghurt

  • Put the double cream, 100ml of the maple syrup and the vanilla bean paste in a large mixing bowl and whisk with a handheld electric whisk until the mixture forms soft peaks.
  • Fold in the Greek yoghurt until fully combined and pour into a wide, shallow freezer-safe container. Freeze for 3-4 hours, or until completely frozen.

  • Tip the blended Greek yoghurt mixture back into the freezer-safe container.
  • Using a spoon, ripple the frozen cherry mixture through the frozen Greek yoghurt and place back in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until frozen enough to scoop.
  • Scoop into cones or bowls to serve.
