Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered

1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

2 tablespoons poppy seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prep the Strawberries: Begin by placing the quartered strawberries in a medium bowl. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over them and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes. This will help the strawberries release their natural juices and enhance their flavor.

    Blend the Yogurt Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and poppy seeds. Blend the mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and completely integrated. Taste the blend and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or syrup if desired.

      Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the macerated strawberries into the yogurt mixture. Use a spatula to ensure the strawberries are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt without mashing them.

        Prepare the Mold: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, dollop the yogurt-strawberry mixture onto the parchment, creating small coins that are approximately 1 inch in diameter.

          Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Let the coins freeze for a minimum of 2-3 hours, or until they are completely firm to the touch.

            Serve: Once the coins are frozen solid, gently peel them from the parchment paper. Serve immediately for a deliciously refreshing snack. These delightful coins can also be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
