Variations & Mix-ins
This lovely Greek yogurt dessert is so simple to customize! Try swapping the lemon for orange or lime zest for a different citrus kick.
Not a fan of Petit Beurre biscuits? Graham crackers, shortbread, or even gingersnaps work beautifully.
Add fresh berries between the layers, or mix in some honey-roasted nuts for extra crunch. For chocolate lovers, try stirring mini chocolate chips into the yogurt mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Make this dessert shine at your next gathering by serving it in clear glass containers to show off those pretty layers! Small mason jars or wine glasses work perfectly for individual portions.
Add a fresh mint leaf on top for a pop of color. This dessert works wonderfully after a heavy meal since it’s light and refreshing. You can even serve it as part of a breakfast or brunch spread – it pairs amazingly with fresh fruit and coffee!
Storage Tips
Keep your yogurt dessert fresh by storing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For the best texture, add the crushed biscuits just before serving – this keeps them nice and crunchy!
If you want to prep ahead, make the yogurt mixture and store it separately from the biscuits, then put them together when you’re ready to serve.
The yogurt mixture might get a bit firm in the fridge, so let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
