Ingredients
- 500 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 60 milliliters lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 75 grams honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 grams powdered gelatin
- 30 milliliters water (for blooming gelatin)
- 100 grams graham crackers (crushed)
- 50 grams salted butter (melted)
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, dissolve powdered gelatin in 30 milliliters of water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the bloomed gelatin, fresh lime juice, and honey. Stir until the gelatin fully dissolves, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour in the cooled gelatin mixture, stirring continuously to ensure a smooth consistency.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Step 5
Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottoms of 4 serving glasses or ramekins to form a base layer.
Step 6
Divide the lime yogurt mixture evenly between the glasses, pouring it carefully over the graham cracker base.
Step 7
Refrigerate the desserts for at least 2 hours, or until the yogurt layer sets completely.
Step 8
Once set, garnish with additional lime zest and fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
