Ingredients
•
1 1/2 cups raspberries, rinsed and drained
•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
1 cup blueberries, rinsed and drained
•
1 1/2 cups granola
•
2 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 teaspoon lemon zest
•
1/2 cup white sugar
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
Combine raspberries and ½ cup white sugar in a bowl. Crush with a potato masher into a puree. Cover and let sit out for 1 hour.
3
Pass berry puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds. Add blueberries, stir, and keep in the refrigerator until needed.
4
Whisk yogurt, vanilla, lemon zest, and sugar for frozen yogurt together in a bowl until sugar dissolves and the mixture is light and fluffy. Transfer into a piping bag and refrigerate until needed.
5
Add 2 tablespoons of granola into an 8-ounce jar, or similar vessel. Top with 2 tablespoons of the fruit mixture. Try to make sure some of the fruit sauce is touching the glass so you can see the layers when frozen. Top with 2 heaping tablespoons of the yogurt mixture.
6
Repeat twice more for a total of 3 layers. Top can be garnished with any remaining fruit and sauce.
7
Freeze until frozen solid, about 8 hours, or overnight.

Serve and enjoy!
