Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plant-based frozen yogurt
- 1 1/4 cups plant-based granola
- 1 tablespoon natural honey
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Instructions
- Prepare the Granola Base: Lightly toast the plant-based granola in a pan or oven to enhance flavor and crunch. Press approximately 2 tablespoons of the toasted granola firmly into the base of each silicone or paper cupcake liner to form a compact cup that will hold the filling.
- Mix the Frozen Yogurt Filling: In a mixing bowl, gently combine the plant-based frozen yogurt, natural honey, natural vanilla extract, lemon zest, and the natural gelling agent. Stir carefully to blend without melting the yogurt, ensuring a creamy yet stable mixture.
- Assemble the Cups: Spoon the frozen yogurt mixture generously into each granola cup, smoothing the top with a spatula or back of a spoon to create an even surface where creamy meets crunchy.
- Add Fresh Berries: Arrange a colorful selection of fresh mixed berries on top of the frozen yogurt filling. Press the berries slightly into the mixture so they adhere and stay in place after freezing.
- Freeze Until Firm: Place the assembled granola cups on a flat tray and freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set. The natural gelling agent will help maintain their structure for easy removal and serving.
Notes
- Use firm, ripe fresh berries so they keep their shape after freezing.
- Press granola firmly to form sturdy cups that do not crumble when serving.
- Mix the frozen yogurt filling gently to preserve a creamy texture without melting.
- Freeze cups spaced evenly on a flat tray to avoid tipping or spilling.
- Best enjoyed soon after freezing to enjoy the texture contrast at its peak.
