Ingredients
  

For the Frozen Yogurt Layer:

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain for a neutral flavor or flavored for added sweetness)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for a hint of warmth)

1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries; fresh or frozen)

For the Granola Layer:

1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade for a personal touch)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts for crunch)

1/4 cup dried fruit (like cranberries or raisins for added sweetness)

For Toppings:

Fresh berries (for garnish)

Drizzle of honey (for a sweet finishing touch)

Mint leaves (optional, for freshness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Frozen Yogurt Mixture:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      - Carefully fold in the mixed berries using a spatula, taking care not to break them, so they remain whole and distribute evenly throughout the yogurt.

        Assemble the Ice Cream Cups:

          - Take 6 small cups or ramekins and begin layering the yogurt mixture. Spoon in the yogurt layer until each cup is filled halfway.

            - Gently tap the cups against the countertop to eliminate any air bubbles and ensure the yogurt layer is even and compact.

              Add the Granola Layer:

                - In a separate bowl, combine the granola, chopped nuts, and dried fruit. Stir until well mixed.

                  - Evenly distribute this granola mixture over the yogurt layer in each cup, pressing down gently to secure it in place.

                    Finish with More Yogurt:

                      - Spoon the remaining yogurt mixture on top of the granola layer in each cup, filling them to the brim.

                        - For a decorative touch, use the back of a spoon to lightly swirl the tops of the cups.

                          Freeze:

                            - Cover each cup with plastic wrap or use lids if they have them. Place the cups in the freezer.

                              - Allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they become firm and scoopable.

                                Serve:

                                  - When ready to serve, remove the cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier eating.

                                    - Top each cup with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, and a sprig of mint, if desired, for an extra pop of color and flavor.

                                      - Indulge in your delightful Fruity Frozen Yogurt Granola Ice Cream Cups—perfect for a refreshing treat!
