Ingredients:
- 24 Dare™ Maple Leaf Crème Cookies, smashed
- 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 cup diced strawberries
Directions:
1. Prepare the Cupcake Pan: Line a cupcake pan with disposable cupcake liners. This will make removing the frozen bites easier and mess-free once they’re ready to eat.
2. Create the Crust: Take the smashed Dare™ Maple Leaf Crème Cookies and place a layer at the bottom of each cupcake liner, pressing them down gently to create the crust. This adds a crunchy, sweet base to the cheesecake bites.
3. Blend the Yogurt and Strawberries: In a blender, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt and diced strawberries. Blend until smooth and creamy, making sure the strawberries are fully incorporated into the yogurt mixture.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake Bites: Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the yogurt-strawberry mixture on top of the cookie layer in each cupcake liner, filling each liner almost to the top. Smooth the tops with the back of the spoon for a neat finish.
5. Freeze: Place the cupcake pan in the freezer and let the cheesecake bites freeze for 3-4 hours, or until they are completely frozen and firm.
6. Serve or Store: Once the bites are frozen, they are ready to be enjoyed! You can serve them immediately as a cool, refreshing dessert. If you have leftovers, remove the frozen bites from the cupcake liners and store them in a freezer-safe bag for future snacking.
