Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed

½ cup Greek yogurt (plain)

½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Pinch of salt

1 cup white chocolate chips (for drizzling)

Fresh strawberries, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir the mixture until the crumbs are completely coated with the butter and sugar.

      - Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a silicone coin mold or a mini muffin tin, ensuring an even layer to form the crust. Place the assembled crust in the freezer to set while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

        Make the Cheesecake Filling:

          - In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it is completely smooth and creamy.

            - Gradually add in the powdered sugar, pure vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Continue mixing until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is silky.

              - Fold in the strawberry puree gently until well combined, creating a smooth and vibrant filling.

                Assemble the Coin Bites:

                  - Once the crust has firmed up in the freezer, carefully remove it. Spoon the luscious cheesecake filling over the crust, filling each mold almost to the top but leaving a slight space to allow for the chocolate drizzle.

                    - Return the filled molds to the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the bites are completely solid.

                      Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle:

                        - While the cheesecake bites are freezing, melt the white chocolate chips. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and melted.

                          - Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before proceeding to the next step to avoid melting the cheesecake bites.

                            Final Assembly:

                              - After the cheesecake bites have frozen, gently pop them out of the molds. If you experience difficulty, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to help release them.

                                - Using a fork or a piping bag, drizzle the slightly cooled melted white chocolate over each cheesecake bite in a decorative manner.

                                  - Top each bite with a slice of fresh strawberry for an added touch of freshness and color.

                                    Serve & Enjoy:

                                      - Store the Frozen Strawberry Cheesecake Coin Bites in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to enjoy.

                                        - These delightful bites make for a refreshing dessert and are perfect for summer gatherings or anytime you need a sweet treat!
