Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla for sweetness)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (to enhance flavor)

1/2 cup granola (select your favorite variety for crunch)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional, for a pop of color)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Begin by thoroughly washing the peaches. Carefully peel the skin off and then dice the peaches into small, bite-sized cubes. If you prefer a creamier texture, consider blending the diced peaches into a smooth puree for a different feel in your yogurt cup.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or a spoon to stir the mixture until it's completely smooth and well blended, ensuring an even distribution of sweetness and flavor.

      Layer the Ingredients: Grab a muffin tin or silicone cupcake molds. Spoon a layer of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of each cup, filling them up to about one-third full. Next, add a layer of diced peaches (or your peach puree) on top of the yogurt to create a beautiful and tasty contrast.

        Add More Layers: Repeat the layering process, adding more yogurt followed by another layer of peaches, until the cups are filled to the top. Aim for two to three layers, finishing with a final layer of yogurt for a polished look.

          Top with Granola: After filling the cups, generously sprinkle about one tablespoon of granola on top of each yogurt cup. This will add a delightful crunch that complements the creamy yogurt and juicy peaches.

            Freeze: Carefully place the muffin tin or molds in the freezer. Allow the yogurt cups to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Serve: Once ready to serve, take the yogurt cups out of the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making them easier to spoon. If desired, garnish each cup with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance and a refreshing aroma. Enjoy this delightful and refreshing frozen treat!
