Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (for the base)

Directions

I start by combining the Greek yogurt, almond milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl. I stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Next, I gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they’re evenly spread throughout.

If I’m using chia seeds, I stir them in at this stage. They add a nice texture and a bit of extra nutrition.

Then I layer crushed graham crackers into small dessert cups or bowls to form a base.

I spoon the yogurt mixture on top of the graham cracker base, filling each cup.

I let them chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours so the flavors meld together beautifully.

Before serving, I like to add a few more blueberries and a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness and presentation.

Variations

Sometimes I switch things up by using raspberries or blackberries instead of blueberries. I’ve also tried using coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version, which adds a nice tropical twist. For the base, crushed digestive biscuits or gluten-free cookies work well too. If I’m serving guests, I layer the ingredients parfait-style in clear glasses for a more elegant presentation.

Storage/reheating

I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they keep well for up to 3 days. Since this is a chilled dessert, there’s no need for reheating. I just give it a quick stir if needed before serving again.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare this the night before. Just keep it covered in the fridge, and it’s ready to serve the next day.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Absolutely. I’ve used frozen blueberries when fresh weren’t available. I just thaw and drain them before mixing in.

What’s the best yogurt to use?

I prefer thick Greek yogurt for its creamy texture, but any plain yogurt will work.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, if I use gluten-free graham crackers or skip the base entirely, the recipe remains gluten-free.

Can I skip the chia seeds?

Definitely. They’re optional, and while they add a bit of texture and nutrition, the dessert tastes great without them too.

Conclusion

This Lemon Blueberry Soufra is a refreshing, fuss-free dessert that I love making for its simplicity and vibrant flavor. With minimal prep and a short ingredient list, it’s the kind of recipe that fits into busy days and still feels like a treat. Whether for a casual snack or a light finish to a meal, this dessert always hits the spot.
