Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and drained

1 cup lemon yogurt (choose Greek or regular based on preference)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup crushed graham crackers (for the crust)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter. Using a fork, mix until the texture resembles damp sand. Divide this mixture evenly among four serving cups or small dessert bowls, pressing firmly into the bottom of each to ensure a compact and even crust layer.

    Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and sifted powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, add in the lemon yogurt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until the filling is fully combined and has a fluffy consistency.

      Layer the cups: Using a spatula or spoon, carefully spoon the lemon yogurt filling on top of the crust in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops gently to create an even surface.

        Add the blueberries: In a separate bowl, gently fold the rinsed blueberries into the remaining lemon filling until they are evenly distributed. Carefully spoon this blueberry-infused mixture on top of the lemon yogurt layer in each cup, creating a vibrant and delicious layer.

          Chill: Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the cups are set. This chilling time is essential for the layers to firm up and for the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Serve: Once chilled, remove the cups from the refrigerator. For an elegant presentation, garnish each cup with a few extra fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint if desired. Serve cold and savor the delightful, refreshing combination of zesty lemon and sweet blueberries!
