Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon honey

For the Creamy Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

For the Topping

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
  • Optional: honey for drizzling
  • Optional: pinch of lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and honey until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the base of your serving dish or individual cups to form a crisp, golden crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Creamy Layer: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well blended.
  3. Slice the Strawberries: Wash and gently pat dry the strawberries. Slice them evenly to ensure consistent presentation and flavor in every bite.
  4. Assemble the Dessert: Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Arrange the sliced strawberries neatly on top to cover the surface. For extra flair, drizzle with a little honey or sprinkle with lemon zest if desired.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and the texture to set. Serve chilled and enjoy the fresh, vibrant taste.

Notes

  • Choose ripe, sweet, and juicy strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Allow the dessert to chill for at least one hour to enhance texture and flavor integration.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth creamy layer.
  • Arrange strawberry slices carefully and evenly for an appealing presentation.
  • Taste the creamy mixture before layering and adjust sweetness as needed.
  • Substitute coconut yogurt and dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan version.
  • Replace graham crackers with ground almonds for a gluten-free crust alternative.
  • Freeze leftover crumble separately if needed; do not freeze the assembled dessert.
  • Serve individual portions in clear cups or mason jars for a beautiful layered presentation.
