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
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Graham cracker or crumbled cookies, as desired

Directions

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