Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp salt

Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries) for topping

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated and resemble wet sand.

    Layer the Base: Spoon an even layer of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of small jars (about half full), pressing down gently to create a solid base.

      Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        Layer the Filling: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each jar over the graham cracker crust, filling them nearly to the top.

          Chill: Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to firm up.

            Serve: Before serving, top each jar with fresh berries and an optional mint leaf for a refreshing touch.

              Enjoy: Dig in with a spoon, savoring the creamy cheesecake layered with a crunchy crust and fresh fruit!
