Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus a few extra for garnish)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably unsweetened)

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to your preference)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well until the texture resembles damp sand.

    Assemble the Cups: Take small serving cups or dessert glasses and evenly distribute the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each cup. Use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly to create a solid crust. Set these aside.

      Make the Lemon Raspberry Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, honey (or maple syrup), and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.

        Incorporate Raspberries: Carefully fold the fresh raspberries into the yogurt mixture, taking care not to break them apart. Reserve a few whole raspberries to use as a decorative topping if desired.

          Fill the Cups: Spoon the lemon raspberry filling over the crust in each cup, smoothing the tops gently with the back of a spoon. Give the cups a gentle tap on the counter to eliminate any air pockets.

            Chill: Cover each cup with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and the cups to set properly.

              Garnish and Serve: Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and garnish the cups with additional fresh raspberries and a light sprinkle of lemon zest on top. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing no-bake Lemon Raspberry Cups!
