Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/3 cup maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (for crust)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for crust)

Optional: whipped cream and pumpkin spice for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust:

    - In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

      - Press this mixture into the bottom of serving cups or a muffin tin to form the crust. Ensure it's compact and even. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.

        Make the Pumpkin Mixture:

          - In another bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined. This will be your pumpkin filling.

            Prepare Yogurt Layer:

              - In a separate larger bowl, take the plain Greek yogurt and gently fold in half of the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated. You should have a light orange yogurt layer.

                Layer Your Cups:

                  - Start with a layer of the yogurt mixture on top of the graham cracker crust in each cup.

                    - Next, add a spoonful of the pumpkin filling on top of the yogurt mixture.

                      - Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the two mixtures together, creating a marbled effect.

                        Freeze the Cups:

                          - Place the swirled cups in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until fully frozen.

                            Serve and Enjoy:

                              - Once set, remove from the freezer and let sit for 5 minutes at room temperature for easier serving.

                                - Optionally, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice before serving.
