Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 ½ cups granola
- 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
- 1 tbsp honey (natural) or maple syrup (natural)
Frozen Yogurt Mixture
- 2 cups plant-based frozen yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
Toppings
- 1 ½ cups fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the granola crust: In a bowl, mix granola with the natural gelling agent and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup (natural). Press the mixture firmly into the bottoms of a muffin tin or silicone molds to form a sturdy base for each cup. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set.
- Mix the frozen yogurt: In a separate bowl, gently fold vanilla extract (natural) into the plant-based frozen yogurt until fully combined. Keep it chilled while you prepare the berries to maintain its creamy texture.
- Layer the berries: Wash and dry fresh berries carefully. Place a layer of mixed berries over the granola crust in each cup, distributing them evenly.
- Add the frozen yogurt: Top the berries with a generous scoop of the vanilla-infused frozen yogurt. Smooth the surface slightly with a spoon or spatula for an attractive finish.
- Freeze and serve: Place the filled cups in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the frozen yogurt is firm. When ready, remove them gently from the molds and serve immediately for a cool, refreshing delight.
Notes
- Use a silicone mold to ease removal of the granola cups.
- Chill the frozen yogurt before mixing to ensure better texture.
- Press granola mixture firmly to avoid crumbly bases.
- Alternate layering of berries and yogurt to create flavor pockets.
- Add chopped nuts or seeds just before serving for extra crunch.
