Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit and Topping
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Layer the Cups: Take serving cups and begin by layering a spoonful of the yogurt mixture at the bottom, followed by a layer of chopped strawberries, then a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
- Repeat Layers: Continue to alternate these layers—yogurt mixture, strawberries, and graham cracker crumbs—until the cups are filled to the top.
- Add Final Toppings: For extra flavor and presentation, top each cup with additional fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
- Chill Before Serving: Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up slightly before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat Greek yogurt and cream cheese for a richer texture and flavor.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to blend easily with the yogurt.
- Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen, but fresh is preferred for texture.
- To make it more indulgent, drizzle with honey or add a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
- These cups should be consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
