Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of lemon curd
- 6 mini graham cracker pie crusts (one for each serving)
- 1 cup of vanilla yogurt
- 1 lemon (for zesting)
Instructions
-
Assemble the Base: Begin by spooning approximately 2 tablespoons of lemon curd into each of the mini graham cracker pie crusts. This will form the tart and zesty base of your pies, setting the stage for the creamy topping to come.
-
Add the Creamy Layer: Next, gently spoon about 1/4 cup of vanilla yogurt on top of the lemon curd in each crust. The goal is to cover the lemon curd entirely with yogurt without letting it spill over the edges of the crusts. This creamy layer adds a luscious contrast to the tangy lemon curd, creating a delightful balance of flavors.
-
Garnish with Fresh Lemon Zest: For an extra burst of citrusy flavor and a pop of color, sprinkle some freshly grated lemon zest over the yogurt. This step not only enhances the visual appeal of your mini pies but also adds a refreshing zing to each bite.
-
Chill or Serve: These mini pies are ready to serve immediately, but if you prefer them chilled, simply place them in the refrigerator. They can be prepared up to an hour in advance without losing their delightful texture and flavor.
-
Enjoy: Serve these mini lemon cream pies as a quick dessert option for any meal. Whether you’re enjoying them with your family or bringing them to a potluck, they’re sure to be a hit!
