Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 cup granola
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey, stirring until well blended and smooth.

- Squeeze the fresh lemon juice into the yogurt mixture, then add half of the lemon zest. Gently fold the zest and juice into the yogurt until evenly distributed.
- Wash the blueberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Select clear glass serving dishes or mason jars to create an attractive layered presentation for the trifle.
- Begin layering by first adding a generous spoonful of the honey-lemon yogurt mixture to the bottom of each serving dish.
- Sprinkle a layer of fresh blueberries over the yogurt, allowing some to rest against the glass sides for visual appeal.
- Add a layer of crunchy granola on top of the blueberries, creating a delightful textural contrast.
- Repeat the layering process, creating 2-3 layers in each serving dish.
- Garnish the top with remaining lemon zest and a few whole blueberries.
- Chill the trifles in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing combination of creamy yogurt, tangy lemon, sweet blueberries, and crunchy granola.
