Instructions

Sweeten the Cream: In a bowl, stir the yogurt with honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla until smooth.

Create the Crunch: Lightly crush the cookies or crackers—aim for a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks.

Layer It Up: Spoon a layer of yogurt into small cups or glasses. Add a sprinkle of crushed cookies.

Add the Drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate (and nut butter, if using) over the crunch layer.

Finish Strong: Repeat the layers once more and top with berries or shaved chocolate. Serve immediately.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

These cups are ideal for individual portions—use clear glasses to show off the layers.

If storing, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; add toppings just before serving for freshness.
