Zesty Almond Cherry Fluff

Place the slivered almonds in a dry pan over medium heat and toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly until golden brown and fragrant, then set aside to cool completely.

In a large chilled mixing bowl, combine the drained maraschino cherries and the Greek yogurt.

Fold in the orange zest to distribute the oils evenly throughout the yogurt base.

Add the miniature marshmallows to the yogurt mixture and stir gently until they are well coated.

In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cherry-yogurt mixture using a spatula, employing a sweeping bottom-up motion to keep the fluff airy.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, which allows the marshmallows to soften and absorb the cherry flavor.

Just before serving, fold in half of the toasted slivered almonds to maintain their crunch.

Divide into chilled dessert cups and garnish with the remaining toasted almonds.
