Looking for a sweet treat that’s healthy, low-cost, and cute enough for a dinner party or lunchbox? These no-bake strawberry yogurt cups are made with non-fat Greek yogurt, sugar-free pudding mix, and a handful of budget-friendly ingredients — served in individual ramekins for perfectly portioned indulgence.
They’re light, creamy, and delicious for under $1 per ramekin!
🛒 What You’ll Need (Makes 4 ramekins):
1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 small box (1 oz) sugar-free instant pudding mix – cheesecake or vanilla work well
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup fat-free Cool Whip (thawed)
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
6 reduced-fat graham crackers or gluten-free pretzels, crushed (about 3/4 cup total)
🍴 How to Make It:
1. Prepare the crust:
Divide the crushed graham crackers or pretzels evenly among 4 ramekins (about 2 tablespoons per ramekin). Press down gently to form a base. No butter needed — the filling sets nicely on top!
2. Mix the filling:
In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and pudding mix until thick and smooth (about 2 minutes). It will thicken quickly.
3. Fold in flavor:
Gently fold in the Cool Whip and chopped strawberries.
4. Spoon and smooth:
Divide the mixture evenly into the ramekins, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon.
5. Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the mixture sets and the flavors meld.
6. Optional topping:
Add sliced strawberries or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers just before serving.
💡 Tips & Variations:
Dairy-free? Use coconut milk yogurt and a dairy-free whipped topping.
Low-carb version: Skip the crust or swap with crushed nuts.
Make ahead: These keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Make it fancy: Pipe the filling into ramekins for a swirled presentation.
