Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits
Directions
Place the graham crackers in a zip-top bag, seal bag and mash with a rolling pin until the crackers are reduced to fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with the lemon zest and divide evenly between 4 small dessert glasses or jars. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the cheese, yogurt, honey and vanilla with a hand-held mixer until smooth. Spoon mixture into the glasses. Top with the strawberries and chill for 30 minutes before serving.
