Recipe Notes
For my Yogurt Cloud Pie you’ll want to use granola with no dried fruit. Coconut would be ok, but no raisins or cranberries or such.
The yogurt can be full or low-fat, either one will work. I like the added flavor of the vanilla yogurt in this.
The coconut milk will need to be refrigerated overnight so that it separates. Don’t shake the can before or after refrigerating. Each can will yield different amounts of coconut cream. I’ve had some that were mostly all coconut cream, and some that are about half coconut cream and half coconut water. Whichever way it goes, it’s all good; your pie will turn out great either way.
For the cherries, make sure to get a jar without heavy syrup. The ones I got came from the international market near my house, and I think they are just beautiful. I stood around in the store reading all the labels, and this one, cherries were the first ingredient. So many of them had sugar as the first ingredient.

Recipe
Cherry Yoghurt Cloud Pie with Granola Crust
Ingredients
- 13.5 ounce can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 ½ cups plain granola
- 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup jarred cherries
Instructions
- Place the can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight.
- In a food processor, pulse granola with the coconut oil, until fine crumbs form. Transfer the granola mixture to a 9-inch pie pan and, using your hands, gently press it evenly onto the bottom and way up the sides of the pie pan. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
- While the crust refrigerates, carefully scoop out the solid white portion (or the coconut cream) from the top of the can of coconut milk, and place it in a large bowl. Reserve the clear water for another use (like a smoothie).
- Add the vanilla and maple syrup to the coconut milk in the bowl, and beat with a hand mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, like whipped cream.
- Carefully fold yogurt into the whipped coconut milk, and pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Cover loosely with plastic wrap of waxed paper, and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or up to 1 day.
- Just before serving, pour the jarred cherries over the yoghurt filling.
