Ingredients
  

For the Frozen Yogurt Layer:

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose your favorite flavor or stick with plain)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a combination)

For the Granola Layer:

1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade for customization)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or your choice)

1/4 cup dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, or apricots for extra zest)

For Toppings:

Additional fresh berries for garnish

A drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for a touch of color and flavor)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Frozen Yogurt Mixture:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

      - Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        - Carefully fold in the mixed berries, making sure they are evenly incorporated without crushing them.

          Assemble the Ice Cream Cups:

            - Gather 6 small cups or ramekins for serving.

              - Spoon the yogurt mixture into each cup, filling them about halfway to allow room for the granola layer.

                - Gently tap the filled cups on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles, ensuring a flat and even layer.

                  Add the Granola Layer:

                    - In a separate bowl, combine the granola, chopped nuts, and dried fruit. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

                      - Spoon the granola mixture evenly on top of the yogurt layer in each cup, pressing down slightly to make sure it adheres well.

                        Finish with More Yogurt:

                          - Use the remaining yogurt mixture to top off the granola layer in each cup, filling them to the rim.

                            - For an elegant touch, lightly swirl the tops with the back of a spoon or a small spatula.

                              Freeze:

                                - Carefully cover each cup with plastic wrap or a small lid to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.

                                  - Place the cups in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until they are firm to the touch.

                                    Serve:

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

                                        - Before serving, add fresh berries on top, drizzle with honey or maple syrup, and garnish with mint leaves if desired.

                                          - Savor your deliciously refreshing Frozen Yogurt Granola Ice Cream Cups!
