Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, tightly packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (approximately 2 limes)

1 cup coconut water

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Zest of 1 lime

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a mixing bowl, add the sliced strawberries and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Gently toss the strawberries until they are fully coated with sugar. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes; this will help them release their natural juices.

    Create the Mint Lime Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the tightly packed mint leaves, freshly squeezed lime juice, coconut water, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the mint leaves are finely chopped, creating a fragrant and flavorful infusion.

      Combine All Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, carefully combine the macerated strawberries (with their juices), Greek yogurt, and the mint-lime mixture. If you prefer a sweeter treat, drizzle in the honey. Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture together until all ingredients are well incorporated, taking care not to break down the strawberries too much.

        Mold the Mixture: Spoon the combined mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays. Fill each cavity about three-quarters full to allow for expansion during freezing. For an added visual appeal, consider placing small mint leaves or additional strawberry slices on top of each filled cavity.

          Freeze: Transfer the molds to the freezer and allow the Strawberry Mojito Melts to freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Serve: Once fully frozen, carefully remove the Strawberry Mojito Melts from their molds. Let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly, making them easier to pop out. Serve immediately and savor these refreshing treats on a warm day!
