Ingredients
  

1 cup of fresh raspberries

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

2 cups Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 lemons)

Zest of 2 lemons

1/4 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Make the Raspberry Swirl: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries and honey. Cook for about 5 minutes, mashing the raspberries with a fork until they break down. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

    Prepare the Lemon Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.

      Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the raspberry mixture into the lemon yogurt base. Use a spatula to create swirls without fully mixing them together for that marbled effect.

        Transfer to a Dish: Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Pour the lemon raspberry mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.

          Freeze: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.

            Serve: Once frozen, remove from the dish using the overhanging parchment. Cut into bars or squares. For a decorative touch, you can garnish with fresh mint leaves.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately, or store the bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks!
