Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on preference for sweetness)

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 3-4 lemons)

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or use vanilla yogurt for extra sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lemon

Pinch of salt

Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the sliced strawberries and sprinkle them with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Toss the strawberries gently to ensure they are evenly coated. Set the bowl aside for about 15 minutes, allowing the strawberries to soften and release their juices, creating a flavorful syrup.

    Blend the Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the macerated strawberries (including all the juices released), the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring everything is well incorporated.

      Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the yogurt mixture. If you prefer a sweeter profile, gradually add more sugar, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until fully incorporated.

        Pour into Cups: Carefully distribute the smooth strawberry yogurt mixture evenly into small cups or silicone molds. Before placing them in the freezer, gently tap each cup on the counter to help release any air bubbles that may be present.

          Freeze: Cover each cup with plastic wrap or lids to prevent freezer burn. Place the cups in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely set and firm.

            Serve: Once fully frozen, remove the cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for approximately 5-10 minutes. This will help soften the frozen yogurt slightly for easier enjoyment. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.

              Enjoy: Using a spoon or popsicle stick, indulge in your vibrant and refreshing Strawberry Lemonade Frozen Yogurt Cups!
