Note

For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and agar-agar instead of gelatin (substitute 1 tbsp agar-agar for 1 package gelatin; boil with liquid for 5 minutes before adding yogurt).

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Ensure cherries are fully pitted to avoid unpleasant surprises!

Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a few whole cherries for presentation.
