Cherry Swirl Pudding
Ingredients
2 cups plain fat-free yogurt
2 cups pitted sweet black cherries
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup dried, unsweetened coconut
Directions
Increase the yogurt's density by putting it in a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter over a bowl. Refrigerate. After two hours, you'll see about a half cup of liquid to discard. 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).
