1cupplain or vanilla Greek yogurt
⅓cupfresh lime juice(about 6 to 8 limes)
1.5tablespoonagave (agave or honey (optional))
1teaspoonvanilla extract
lime zest of all your limes(reserve half for garnish)
Crust
30vanilla wafers( or graham crackers)
Instructions
Filling
Bring Greek yogurt and cream cheese to room temperature by placing on counter top for a couple of hours. This will allow the cream cheese to soften which will make it easier to cream. This will also allow the cream cheese and Greek yogurt to incorporate more easily.
After cream cheese is at room temperature, place in a mixing bowl. Using a hand-held mixer, beat the cream cheese until it's creamy and fluffy about 2 minutes. Add in the Greek yogurt and mix until both are incorporated. Add honey or agave, fresh lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract and mix with a spoon until all ingredients are combined.
Vanilla Wafer Crust
Place vanilla wafers in a food processor and process until the wafers resemble pie crust. Set aside
Align mason jars or glassware and begin to layer filling and crust. Begin with a bottom layer of crust, then add filling, and repeat with another layer of crust, filling, top with a dollop of whipped cream (either store bought or homemade). Garnish with lime zest and sprinkles of crust.
Refrigerate for an hour and serve. You can also refrigerate overnight. They also make a great breakfast or snack.
