Prep the strawberries: Slice the berries and toss with a tiny drizzle of honey and a squeeze of lemon if you like.
Let them sit for 2–3 minutes to get juicy.
Make the creamy base: In a bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with vanilla, a pinch of salt, and lemon zest. For extra cheesecake richness, beat in the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Sweeten to taste: Add honey or maple syrup, a little at a time, until it’s just sweet enough. Keep the tang—it’s what makes it taste like cheesecake.
Crush the “crust”: In a small bag or bowl, crush graham crackers into coarse crumbs.
Mix with chopped nuts for more texture, if using.
Assemble: Spoon the yogurt mixture into a serving bowl. Scatter the graham-nut crumble over the top. Add the juicy strawberries and their syrupy juices.
Finish and serve: Add a final drizzle of honey if you want shine and sweetness.
Eat right away while the crumble is still crisp.
