To ensure your Frozen Yogurt Pumpkin Crumble Cups have a delightful smooth and creamy texture, there are several key aspects to consider. First, use full-fat yogurt for a richer mouthfeel, as low-fat options may lead to a more icy consistency. Additionally, blending the yogurt with the other ingredients until completely smooth will help eliminate any lumps. A high-speed blender or food processor is ideal for this purpose.

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your preferred sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

A pinch of salt

For the Crumble Topping:

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour (or any flour of your choice)

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup melted coconut oil (alternatively, use unsalted butter)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

A pinch of salt

For Serving:

Whipped cream (optional for a richer finish)

Extra pumpkin spice (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pumpkin Layer:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

      Make the Crumble Topping:

        In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, packed brown sugar, melted coconut oil, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and another pinch of salt. Use a fork to break up any clumps and combine the ingredients until it has a crumbly texture.

          Assemble the Cups:

            In individual cups or ramekins, layer the prepared pumpkin mixture at the bottom, filling each cup about halfway. Next, take the crumble topping and generously sprinkle it on top of the pumpkin layer, ensuring it is fully covered.

              Freeze:

                Place the assembled cups in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely firm. If you're short on time, you can freeze them for a minimum of 2 hours, but they may require a little extra time to scoop out.

                  Serve:

                    Once frozen, let the cups sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra pumpkin spice for a festive touch. Indulge in your delicious and creamy frozen treat!
