Servings 8
Ingredients
For the base
- 3 pitted (60 g) medjool dates (soaked in hot water and drained)
- ½ cup (60 g) nuts or seeds (of your choice)
- ¼ cup (20 g) rolled oats (or millet/quinoa/buckwheat flakes)
For the cream layer
- 5 oz (140 g) yogurt (e.g. coconut or soy)
- 3 ½ oz (100 g) vegan cream cheese (or use more yogurt for a lighter dessert)
- ⅓ cup (60 g) sweetener of your choice (I used xylitol)
- 3 ½ oz (100 g) strawberries (optional - I used fresh)
- 1 ½ Tbsp lemon or lime juice
For decoration
- Fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- Granola
Instructions
- First, soak the dates in hot water for 2-4 minutes, then drain. Blend the dates, nuts, and oats in a food processor or blender until sticky.
- Press the date-nut mixture firmly into 8 silicone muffin molds.
- Then, blend the yogurt, cream cheese (if using), sweetener, lemon, and fruit until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness/tang.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the base and add toppings– like berries and granola.
- Freeze the granola yogurt cups for just 1-2 hours for a semi-frozen texture or until firm. Let it thaw for at least 15 minutes before eating to soften and enhance the flavor.
