Creating a solid base for your lemon blueberry cups begins with the crust. The crust is not only essential for adding texture but also for holding the filling securely. To prepare the crust, combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter and a touch of sugar. The ratio should be about one and a half cups of crushed graham crackers to a third of a cup of melted butter and two tablespoons of sugar.

Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for a plant-based option)

Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)

1 cup crushed graham crackers (or a 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, mix together the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until fully combined. Divide this mixture equally among the bottom of your serving cups, pressing down firmly in each cup to create a compact and sturdy crust.

    Make the Filling: In a separate mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and honey (or maple syrup) until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Next, incorporate the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture. Mix on medium speed until everything is fully blended and light and fluffy in texture.

      Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries into the yogurt filling, ensuring they are evenly mixed without mashing them. This will allow you to maintain the beautiful berry flavor and texture throughout the cups.

        Assemble the Cups: Spoon the lemon blueberry filling over the prepared crust in each cup, using the back of a spoon to smooth the top evenly. Ensure each cup is generously filled.

          Chill: Cover each cup with plastic wrap or lids and place them in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2-3 hours, which will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Serve: Once ready to serve, remove the cups from the refrigerator. Top each lemon blueberry cup with additional fresh blueberries and garnish with a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.

              Enjoy: Indulge in these delightful cups, enjoying the vibrant combination of zesty lemon and sweet blueberries!
