Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

Zest of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup crushed graham crackers (for crust)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

Fresh lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of silicone muffin cups or a flexible ice cube tray, creating an even layer. Set aside in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat until creamy and well combined.

      Add Yogurt and Flavors: Add the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix on low speed until all ingredients are well incorporated and smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness with honey if desired.

        Fill the Cups: Remove the crusts from the freezer. Spoon the lemon cheesecake yogurt mixture over the cooled crusts, filling each cup to the top. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

          Freeze: Place the filled cups back in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely firm.

            Serve: Once frozen, remove the yogurt cups from the silicone molds. For a more elegant presentation, top each cup with a fresh slice of lemon or a sprig of mint before serving.

              Enjoy: These delightful Frozen Lemon Cheesecake Yogurt Cups are perfect for a cool treat on a warm day!
