Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup almonds or walnuts, chopped

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup coconut flakes (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherry Mix:

    - In a bowl, combine the pitted and halved cherries with honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the cherries are well coated. If using frozen cherries, you can slightly thaw them to make them easier to mix. Let this mixture sit while you prepare the yogurt and crumble layers.

      Make the Yogurt Base:

        - In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until creamy. If you prefer a sweeter yogurt, add more honey or maple syrup to taste.

          Prepare the Crumble Topping:

            - In another bowl, mix the granola, chopped almonds or walnuts, and cinnamon. If you want added flavor, you can toast the nuts in a skillet for a few minutes until fragrant.

              Assemble the Cups:

                - Take small cups or bowls. Start by adding a layer of the yogurt at the bottom of each cup (about 1/4 of the cup). Next, add a layer of the cherry mixture (about 2 tablespoons) on top. Follow this with a layer of the crumble topping (approximately 2 tablespoons).

                  Repeat Layers:

                    - Continue layering until you’ve filled the cups, finishing with a final layer of yogurt and a sprinkle of the crumble topping. You can usually make 2 to 3 layers depending on the size of your cups.

                      Chill or Freeze:

                        - If you like your dessert softer, you can serve them right away. For a firmer texture, place the assembled cups into the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until they reach your desired consistency.

                          Garnish and Serve:

                            - Remove from the freezer a few minutes before serving to soften slightly. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and enjoy your Frozen Yogurt Cherry Crumble Cups!
