Nilla Yogurt Freeze

I found a pretty awesome deal on Nilla wafers, so now I have a few boxes to do creative things with.
I started with the recipe on the side of the box, which has just a few ingredients and is very versatile. They suggest using regular size muffin cups and whole nilla wafers, but I wanted to make mini ones.

Ingredients:
24 Reduced Fat Nilla Wafers, cut in halves
12 oz you favorite flavor low fat yogurt ( I used 2 x 6 oz cups, one peach and one strawberry)
144 g Cool Whip Free, thawed, halved. ( if you don't have a food scale, I determined the amount to use by filling one of the 6 oz yogurt cups about 3/4 full, per 6 oz yogurt, so that should be a decent guideline)

In a mini muffin tin, put in 24 liners.
Place half of a Nilla wafer in the bottom of each one.
If you are doing all one flavor, mix all of the yogurt with all of the cool whip.
If you are doing 2 flavors as I did, mix each 6 oz of the yogurt with 1/2 of the cool whip and stir til well combined.
Divide the yogurt mixture among the liners, approx 1 tablespoon in each one. Once all 24 cups are full, top each with another 1/2 of a Nilla wafer.
Freeze and serve. It takes about 1 hour for them to freeze through.

YUMMY! Next time, I may try Greek yogurt, or mix up some interesting flavor combinations. This is really super easy and tasty!
