Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling:

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

For the Granola Crust:

1 cup granola (choose your favorite brand or homemade)

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (use maple syrup for a vegan version)

For Toppings:

Fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

A drizzle of honey or chocolate sauce

Additional granola for garnish

Optional: mini chocolate chips or your favorite nuts

Instructions
 

Prepare the Granola Crust:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the granola, melted coconut oil, and honey (or maple syrup). Stir well until the granola is evenly coated.

      - Evenly distribute the granola mixture into 6 small cups (ramekins or disposable cups work perfectly). Press down firmly to create a solid crust at the bottom. Transfer the cups to the freezer to set while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

        Make the Cheesecake Filling:

          - In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it's smooth and creamy.

            - Add the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix on medium speed until everything is well combined and the mixture is free of lumps. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary.

              Assemble the Cups:

                - Remove the granola crusts from the freezer. Carefully spoon the creamy cheesecake filling over the granola base in each cup, filling them nearly to the top.

                  - Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the tops for a polished finish.

                    Freeze the Cheesecake Cups:

                      - Cover each cup with plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are fully set and firm.

                        Serve:

                          - When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake cups from the freezer and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.

                            - Top each cheesecake cup with a mix of fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or chocolate sauce, and a sprinkle of extra granola. For added flavor and texture, consider adding mini chocolate chips or nuts.

                              Enjoy!

                                - Serve immediately and indulge in your wonderfully refreshing Frozen Yogurt Granola Cheesecake Cups!
