Ingredients
  

2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust according to your preference)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Pinch of salt

Cooking spray or parchment paper for lining the baking sheet

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Jam:

    - In a medium saucepan, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

      - Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and begin to release their juices, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

        Thicken the Jam:

          - In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.

            - Pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the strawberries and stir well to combine.

              - Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.

                - Remove from heat and allow the jam to cool completely.

                  Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

                    - In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract.

                      - Stir well until the ingredients are fully blended and the mixture is smooth.

                        Shape the Coins:

                          - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

                            - Using a tablespoon, scoop the yogurt mixture and dollop it onto the prepared baking sheet in circles, aiming for about 2 inches in diameter. You should yield approximately 12-15 yogurt coins.

                              Add Strawberry Jam:

                                - Once all yogurt coins are shaped, take a spoonful of the cooled strawberry jam and gently place it in the center of each yogurt coin.

                                  - Use the back of the spoon to swirl the jam slightly with the yogurt, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

                                    Freeze:

                                      - Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the yogurt coins to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

                                        Serve:

                                          - After freezing, carefully remove the yogurt coins from the parchment paper. Serve immediately for a refreshing treat, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.

                                              - Presentation Tips: For an elegant touch, serve the coins on a chilled platter and garnish with a few fresh strawberries or mint leaves for color. Enjoy!
