Lemon Graham Yogurt Cups

Cinnamon graham crackers add a sweet, spiced crunch between spoonfuls of lemon yogurt. Assemble these cups shortly before eating so the crumbs keep their contrast with the creamy filling.

Steps

  1. Crush the crackers

    Place graham crackers in a sealed food bag and crush with a rolling pin into small crumbs, leaving a few pea-sized pieces for texture. Measure 1 cup.

  2. Flavor the yogurt

    Stir yogurt, honey, vanilla, lemon zest and juice in a bowl until smooth. Keep the mixture cold while preparing the glasses.

  3. Build the layers

    Divide half the crumbs among four small glasses, then add half the yogurt and berries. Repeat the layers, reserving a spoonful of crumbs for the tops.

  4. Serve cups promptly

    Scatter the remaining crumbs on top and serve immediately for the crispest texture. If serving later, refrigerate at 40°F (4°C) or below and add the final crumbs just before eating.

Tips and substitutions

Drain berries well so extra water does not soak the graham layers.

Use thick yogurt rather than a drinkable variety to keep the layers distinct.

For a dairy-free variation choose a thick dairy-free yogurt, checking its ingredients for soy or tree nuts.

For a wheat-free variation use labeled wheat-free crackers with a similar dry texture; graham crackers in the base recipe contain wheat.

Storage, serving and make-ahead

Storage

Refrigerate assembled cups covered at 40°F (4°C) or below for up to 24 hours; the crumbs will soften. Keep at room temperature for no more than 2 hours.

Serving suggestions

Serve chilled as an afternoon snack in small glasses, with extra lemon zest grated over the berries if desired.

Make ahead

Mix the yogurt up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate covered. Keep the crushed crackers dry in a separate airtight container and assemble just before serving.

Questions about this recipe

Can I make these cups the night before?

Yes, but the graham crumbs will soften. For crisp layers, refrigerate the lemon yogurt and berries separately and add crumbs shortly before eating.

Can I use a different berry?

Raspberries or chopped strawberries work. Pat them dry after washing and cut large pieces so each spoonful contains some fruit.
