Description

Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups with Fresh Berries are a refreshing and nutritious treat featuring creamy plant-based yogurt nestled in crispy granola shells and topped with a vibrant mix of seasonal berries. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert, this easy-to-make recipe combines natural sweetness and satisfying crunch with customizable options to suit all tastes and occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Granola Cups

  • 2 cups crunchy granola (gluten-free if preferred)

For the Yogurt Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups creamy unsweetened plant-based yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)

Topping

  • 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries mix)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Granola Cups: Press the granola firmly into silicone muffin molds or paper liners to shape sturdy cups. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes to crisp the granola. Let cool completely to ensure the cups hold their shape when filled.
  2. Mix the Yogurt Filling: In a bowl, gently combine the plant-based yogurt, maple syrup (natural), and lemon zest. If a firmer filling is desired, whisk in the natural gelling agent until evenly blended.
  3. Assemble the Cups: After the granola cups have cooled, spoon the yogurt mixture into each cup, filling generously without overflowing. Smooth the tops gently with the back of a spoon for an even finish.
  4. Add Fresh Berries: Top each filled cup with an attractive mix of fresh berries, adding natural sweetness, color, and juiciness.
  5. Freeze Until Set: Arrange the cups on a tray and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until the yogurt is firm but scoopable. Serve frozen or slightly thawed to enjoy the best texture.

Notes

  • Press granola firmly and bake thoroughly to prevent crumbling.
  • Adjust maple syrup to balance sweetness with fresh berries.
  • Use the ripest seasonal berries for optimal flavor and juiciness.
  • Freeze cups uncovered initially to minimize ice crystal formation on the berries.
  • For extra texture, add a thin layer of granola inside cups before filling with yogurt.
