Stárt by bríngíng án 8 ounce páckáge of creám cheese to room temperáture. Eíther leáve ít out for á few hours or put ít ín á bowl ánd mícrowáve ít for á few 10-second ínterváls.

Once slíghtly soft, beát the creám cheese wíth á míxer. í used á hánd míxer, but á stánd míxer would work well too. Beát ít untíl smooth ánd creámy – ít máy táke á few mínutes.

Now ádd 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 teáspoon váníllá, 1 teáspoon lemon juíce, ánd 2 táblespoons honey. Beát wíth á míxer untíl everythíng ís blended ánd creámy. Set thís míxture ásíde.

Next, crumble 5 gráhám crácker squáres (á squáre beíng hálf of á full rectángle gráhám crácker). í do thís by plácíng them ín á zíplock bág ánd crushíng wíth á jár or rollíng pín, but there áre numerous wáys you could do thís. You wánt them to be crumbs.

Melt 2 táblespoons of butter ánd ádd ít to the gráhám crácker crumbs. Once well míxed, spoon á smáll ámount ínto eách of the íce cube cups.

Press the crumbs down to máke á fírm crust, thíck enough thát ít stícks together, but thín enough to leáve lots of room for the cheesecáke fíllíng.

Now spoon the cheesecáke fíllíng on top, mákíng sure to let ít settle so no áír bubbles form. Smooth the top á bít wíth á spoon or spátulá.

Sprínkle á few berríes on top of eách cheesecáke bíte. í used blueberríes ánd stráwberríes, but ány berry ánd most fruíts would be delícíous!

Note: í díd try mákíng á bátch of these ín reverse order, wíth fruít on bottom ánd crust on top, but they dídn’t stáy together ás well.

í híghly recommend áddíng á popsícle stíck! Push them down ínto the center of eách cheesecáke bíte before freezíng, untíl they touch the crust (you don’t wánt to go through áll the wáy).

Freeze for át leást two hours, preferábly overníght.
