Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Step 2: In a separate small bowl, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs with 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, stirring until the mixture holds together like wet sand.
- Step 3: Spoon about 2 tbsp of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of 4 small mason jars or glasses, pressing lightly to form a crust layer.
- Step 4: Add 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture over the crust in each jar, smoothing the tops.
- Step 5: Layer 1/4 cup mixed fresh berries on top of the cream cheese layer in each jar and sprinkle with 1 tsp lemon zest evenly.
- Step 6: Repeat layering once more if jars allow, finishing with berries on top. Chill jars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before packing for your picnic.
