Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries with the honey (or maple syrup) and lemon juice. Allow them to macerate for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to soften the berries and release their natural juices.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well with a whisk or spatula until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.

      Incorporate the Strawberries: Gently fold the macerated strawberries along with their juices into the yogurt mixture. Use a spatula to combine, taking care not to over-mix; you want to maintain some chunky strawberry pieces for delightful texture.

        Add Poppy Seeds: Sprinkle the poppy seeds over the yogurt-strawberry mixture. Using a spatula, fold them in gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Form the Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. With a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the yogurt mixture and form small round coins, roughly 1-2 inches in diameter, on the parchment-lined sheet. Ensure they are spaced apart to allow for easy removal.

            Freeze: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze the yogurt coins for a minimum of 4 hours or until they are fully set and firm to the touch.

              Serve: After freezing, remove the yogurt coins from the baking sheet. Let them sit at room temperature for about 1 minute to soften slightly before serving. For a touch of elegance, garnish each coin with fresh mint leaves if desired.

                Store: Place any remaining coins in an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to one week for an easy, refreshing treat.
