Ingredients

• 1 cup crushed graham crackers
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 medium ripe nectarines
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup chopped toasted pistachios

Instructions

1. 1Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and stir them with the melted butter until the mixture holds together when pressed.
2. 2Divide the crumb mixture among four small jars or glasses and press firmly into an even base layer with the back of a spoon.
3. 3In a mixing bowl beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and free of lumps.
4. 4Add the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon zest, and vanilla; whip on medium speed until light, fluffy, and fully combined.
5. 5Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the crusts in each jar, smoothing the tops.
6. 6Pit and thinly slice the nectarines, then toss them gently with lemon juice to keep their color bright.
7. 7Arrange the nectarine slices in a pretty overlapping layer on top of each cheesecake.
8. 8Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight so the filling firms and the flavors meld.
9. 9Just before serving, drizzle a little extra honey over the fruit and sprinkle with toasted pistachios for crunch.
10. 10Serve chilled straight from the fridge for an easy grab-and-go dessert that still feels special.
