Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or vanilla pudding
- 2/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp butter
- Meringue or whipped cream
- Lemon zest
- Mint
Instructions
- Mix the graham crumbs with the melted butter and press this mixture into the bottoms of serving glasses.
- Add Greek yogurt or vanilla pudding over the crust to create a creamy layer.
- In a saucepan over low heat, whisk together the lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and butter until the mixture thickens. Cool this lemon curd and layer it over the yogurt.

Notes
Whisk the lemon curd continuously to prevent curdling. Allow the lemon curd to cool completely before layering. Toast meringue right before serving for the best texture.
