Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)

1 cup crushed graham crackers (or gluten-free alternative)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined. Divide this mixture evenly among the bottom of serving cups, pressing down firmly to form a crust.

    Make the Filling: In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and honey (or maple syrup) until creamy and smooth. Next, add in the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until fully incorporated and fluffy.

      Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them.

        Assemble the Cups: Spoon the lemon blueberry filling over the prepared crust in each cup, smoothing it out with the back of the spoon.

          Chill: Cover the cups with plastic wrap or lids and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until set. This will help the flavors meld together beautifully and firm up the filling.

            Serve: When ready to serve, top each lemon blueberry cup with additional fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint for a touch of color.

              Enjoy: Dig in and savor the delightful combination of zesty lemon and sweet blueberries!
