Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt (for a creamy texture)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

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

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are thoroughly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

    Layer the Base: Distribute an even layer of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of small jars, filling them about halfway. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to gently press down the crust, ensuring it forms a solid base.

      Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the full-fat Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, and salt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well incorporated.

        Layer the Filling: Carefully spoon the cheesecake mixture into each jar on top of the graham cracker crust, filling them nearly to the rim for a nice presentation.

          Chill: Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to firm up.

            Serve: Before serving, adorn each jar with a generous topping of fresh berries and, if desired, a sprig of mint for a pop of color and freshness.

              Enjoy: Grab a spoon and dive into the delightful layers of creamy cheesecake, crunchy crust, and vibrant berries!
