Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (sweetness can be adjusted according to the strawberries)

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 ½ cups vanilla yogurt (Greek or regular)

½ cup crushed graham crackers

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Mixture:

    In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Toss gently to ensure the strawberries are evenly coated. Allow this mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to macerate. This step helps the strawberries soften, release their juices, and enhances their flavor.

      Blend the Yogurt Base:

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined. This creamy base will add richness to your pops.

          Layer the Pops:

            Begin layering in your popsicle molds. First, add a layer of the macerated strawberry mixture at the bottom of each mold. Next, spoon a layer of the yogurt mixture over the strawberries, spreading it evenly. Follow this with a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers to recreate that delicious shortcake texture. Repeat these layers until the molds are filled, ensuring to finish with a layer of yogurt on top.

              Insert Sticks:

                If your popsicle molds include sticks, insert them into the center of each pop now. If your molds do not have built-in sticks, freeze the pops for about 30-45 minutes first. Once the mixture has slightly set, insert wooden sticks into the center, ensuring they stand upright.

                  Freeze:

                    Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the pops are completely solid.

                      Unmold and Enjoy:

                        To release the frozen pops, run warm water over the outside of the molds for about 10-15 seconds or until the pops slide out effortlessly. Enjoy your refreshing and flavorful frozen strawberry shortcake yogurt pops as a delightful treat!
