Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Yogurt Mixture:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup pure pumpkin puree

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Crust:

1 cup crushed graham crackers

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons brown sugar

For Serving:

Whipped cream (optional)

Crushed pecans or walnuts (optional)

Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and brown sugar. Stir the mixture until it resembles wet sand.

      - Divide the mixture evenly into the bottoms of 8 small cups or dessert glasses. Press down firmly to form a solid crust. Set aside to firm up while preparing the filling.

        Make the Pumpkin Yogurt Mixture:

          - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

            Layer the Cups:

              - Spoon the pumpkin yogurt mixture over the crust in each cup, filling them about halfway.

                - With a spoon, take a small dollop of the remaining yogurt mixture and gently swirl it through the layer in each cup, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

                  Freeze:

                    - Carefully place the cups in the freezer and allow them to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

                      Serve:

                        - Once the cups are frozen, remove them from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier eating.

                          - Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed pecans or walnuts, and a dusting of ground cinnamon if desired before serving.

Alternatively, decorate the whipped cream with a light sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and visual appeal. Enjoy your delightful and seasonal treat!
