Ingredients
  

For the Raspberry Layer:

2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Lemon Yogurt Layer:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (to taste)

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish (optional):

Fresh raspberries

Lemon zest

Mint leaves

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberry Layer:

    - In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. If desired, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds for a smoother texture.

      Make the Lemon Yogurt Layer:

        - In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined and smooth.

          Layer the Mixtures:

            - Take silicone donut or ring molds and start by spooning a layer of the lemon yogurt mixture into the molds, filling them about halfway.

              - Next, pour in a layer of the raspberry puree on top of the lemon yogurt layer. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the two mixtures together gently for a marbled effect.

                - Top off the molds with any remaining lemon yogurt mixture and smooth the tops with a spatula.

                  Freeze:

                    - Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

                      Remove and Serve:

                        - Once frozen, remove the yogurt rings from the molds. If they are difficult to release, briefly run warm water over the outside of the molds to loosen.

                          - Arrange the frozen yogurt rings on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with fresh raspberries, lemon zest, and mint leaves.

                            Enjoy:

                              - Serve immediately for a refreshing treat, or keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

                                Prep Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 6 hours (including freezing) | Servings: 10-12 rings
