Ingredients

  • 6-8 full sheets graham crackers
  • 2 tablespoons maple sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon or lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit fruit jam or sauce, lemon curd, chocolate shavings

Instructions

  • Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners.
  • In a food processor, add graham crackers and pulse to make into fine crumbs.

  • Optional: bake crust in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to set crust and make less crumbly when eating.
  • In a stand mixer bowl or bowl with hand mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape into another bowl and set aside.
  • Add cream cheese and sugar to the stand mixer bowl and beat on medium speed till smooth, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Add yogurt, zest, juice, and vanilla and beat on medium-high speed for 1 minute.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  • Spoon the filling into the liners on top of the crusts, approximately 2 tablespoons per crust. Smooth out the top.
  • Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
  • When ready to serve, eat as is or add optional toppings.
