To achieve the perfect crust for your Frozen Yogurt Lemon Pie Cookie Squares, pre-baking is essential. This step ensures that the crust becomes crispy and golden, providing a sturdy base that holds the creamy filling. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat fully. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.

Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or lemon-flavored)

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Zest of 2 lemons

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until all the crumbs are evenly coated with butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking pan to form an even crust.

    Pre-bake the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until it's lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.

      Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

        Assemble the Squares: Once the crust has cooled, pour the lemon yogurt filling over the cooled crust. Spread the filling evenly using a spatula.

          Freeze the Pie Squares: Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely set.

            Slice and Serve: After the squares have set, remove them from the freezer. Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes for easier slicing. Cut into squares and serve on chilled plates.

              Add Optional Toppings: If desired, top each square with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a beautiful presentation.
