Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose between plain or vanilla for flavor)

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (your preference)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

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

1/2 cup mixed berries (choose from strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a combination)

1/4 cup crushed nuts (almonds or walnuts work beautifully)

A pinch of salt

Optional: Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy. Gradually incorporate the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue mixing until all ingredients are well blended and the mixture is velvety.

    Prepare the Cups: Gather your serving cups or individual ramekins (about 6). Take approximately 2 tablespoons of granola and spoon it into the bottom of each cup. Gently press the granola down with the back of a spoon to create an even, compact layer that will serve as the base.

      Add the Cheesecake Mixture: Carefully pour or spoon the creamy cheesecake mixture over the granola layer in each cup. Fill each cup until it's about three-quarters full, ensuring a generous layer of cheesecake atop the granola.

        Layer the Berries: Disperse a handful of mixed berries on top of each cheesecake layer, arranging them evenly. If desired, set aside a few berries for decorative garnish later.

          Chill: Place the assembled cheesecake cups in the freezer and allow them to chill for about 2-3 hours. They should be firm to the touch but not frozen solid, providing the perfect texture when served.

            Serve: When ready to enjoy, take the cheesecake cups out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. This will soften them slightly for easier scooping. Just before serving, garnish each cup with a sprinkle of crushed nuts, any reserved berries, and a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and flavor.

              Enjoy: Grab a spoon and dive into the delightful, crunchy, creamy, and slightly tangy flavor experience of your Frozen Yogurt Granola Cheesecake Cups!
