Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup almonds or walnuts, chopped

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup coconut flakes (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherry Mixture:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pitted and halved cherries with honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the cherries are evenly coated. If using frozen cherries, let them thaw slightly to ensure easier mixing. Allow the mixture to sit and marinate while you prepare the yogurt and crumble layers.

      Make the Yogurt Base:

        - In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until it becomes smooth and creamy. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, feel free to add additional honey or maple syrup, mixing until fully combined.

          Prepare the Crumble Topping:

            - In another mixing bowl, combine the granola, chopped almonds or walnuts, and ground cinnamon. For an extra burst of flavor, consider toasting the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until they become fragrant and lightly golden.

              Assemble the Cups:

                - Choose small cups or bowls for serving. Begin by adding a layer of yogurt (about 1/4 of the cup) to the bottom of each container. Follow this with a generous spoonful (about 2 tablespoons) of the cherry mixture on top, and then add a layer of the crumble topping (approximately 2 tablespoons).

                  Repeat Layers:

                    - Continue layering the ingredients in each cup until you've reached the top, ideally finishing with a final layer of yogurt, capped off with a sprinkle of the crumble topping. Depending on the size of your cups, aim for 2 to 3 layers total.

                      Chill or Freeze:

                        - If you prefer a softer dessert, serve the cups immediately. For a firmer texture, place the assembled cups in the freezer for about 1 to 2 hours, or until you've achieved your desired consistency.

                          Garnish and Serve:

                            - Before serving, remove the cups from the freezer a few minutes in advance to allow them to soften slightly. Add fresh mint leaves on top for a touch of color and flavor, then enjoy your delightful Frozen Yogurt Cherry Crumble Cups!
