Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

Zest of 1 large lemon

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries) for topping (optional)

Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use an electric mixer to blend them together until smooth and creamy.

    Flavor it Up: Add in the honey (or maple syrup), lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and fine sea salt. Mix on medium speed until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is light and fluffy.

      Prepare the Crust: In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

        Layer the Cups: Take your serving cups (ramekins or silicone molds work well) and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each cup. Press down slightly to create an even crust.

          Add the Cheesecake Mixture: Spoon the lemon cheesecake mixture on top of the crust in each cup, filling them almost to the top. Use a spatula to smooth the tops.

            Freeze: Place the filled cups in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely firm.

              Serve: Once frozen, remove the cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Top with fresh berries and lemon slices if desired.

                Enjoy: Use a spoon to scoop and enjoy these refreshing Frozen Lemon Cheesecake Yogurt Cups!
