Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

2 cups Greek yogurt (can be plain or flavored lemon)

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

Zest of 2 lemons

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir the mixture until all the graham cracker crumbs are thoroughly coated in butter. Firmly press this crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking pan, ensuring an even and compact layer.

    Pre-bake the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once heated, place the crust in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. The crust should turn lightly golden and begin to release a pleasant aroma. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely to room temperature.

      Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and everything is well incorporated.

        Assemble the Squares: After the crust has cooled, pour the lemon yogurt filling over it, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure a uniform layer.

          Freeze the Pie Squares: Cover the baking pan tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and transfer it to the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the filling is completely firm.

            Slice and Serve: Once the squares are fully set, take them out of the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to make slicing easier. Cut the dessert into squares and serve on chilled plates for a refreshing treat.

              Add Optional Toppings: If desired, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each square and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch and extra flavor.
