Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

¼ cup crushed graham crackers (optional for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberries: If using fresh raspberries, rinse them under cold water and gently pat dry. If using frozen, ensure they are thawed and drained of excess liquid. Set aside.

    Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, heavy cream, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, salt, and lemon juice. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Blend the Raspberries: In a blender or food processor, puree half of the raspberries until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can pulse them a few times instead. Reserve the other half of the raspberries for layering.

        Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the pureed raspberries into the yogurt mixture until just swirled. Be careful not to fully blend, so you still have beautiful streaks of raspberry throughout.

          Layer: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Pour half of the yogurt mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle half of the reserved raspberries on top. Add the remaining yogurt mixture and then top with the other half of the raspberries. If desired, sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top for added texture.

            Freeze: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.

              Serve: Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the dish. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve immediately.

                Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
