Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of ¼ lemon (optional)
- 1½ cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Directions
- In a bowl or mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Add in yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, then mix until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a glass storage container (we used a 22oz glass storage container), lining the bottom.
- In a small sauce pan, combine the berry swirl ingredients and bring to a simmer.
- Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring often, to soften the berries and create a syrup.
- Add ⅔ of the berry mixture to the cream cheese blend and gently fold into the mixture, creating swirls (don't overmix!).
- Pour the remainder of berry mixture overtop.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- Once chilled, add crumbled graham cracker or cookies and serve.

Tips
- Let cream cheese soften at room temperature to prevent lumps in mousse.
