Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 6 Oreo cookies
  • 1 handful of blueberries
  • 1 kiwi
  • 220 g of strawberry yogurt

Preparation Time

  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Step-by-Step Instruction

  1. **Prepare all the necessary ingredients**. Ensure you have the cookies, blueberries, kiwi, and yogurt laid out.
  2. **Peel the kiwi**. Gently use a knife to remove the skin, ensuring you don’t waste much of the fruit.
  3. **Cut the kiwi into small pieces**. The size depends on your preference, but small cubes work best for even distribution.
  4. **In a muffin cup, place an Oreo cookie at the bottom**. The cookie acts as the base of your yogurt fruit cup.
  5. **Pour a generous layer of strawberry yogurt on top of the cookie**. Ensure the cookie is fully covered with yogurt.
  6. **Add the chopped kiwi on top of the yogurt**. Spread them out evenly for consistent flavor with each bite.
  7. **Scatter a handful of blueberries over the kiwi**. The blueberries add a burst of color and flavor to the yogurt cup.
  8. **Place the filled muffin cups into the freezer**. Allow them to set until the yogurt firms up slightly, which should take about 10 minutes.
  9. Remove from the freezer and serve immediately for a refreshing, slightly frozen treat.
  10. For a softer texture, you may let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before serving.
