Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

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

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

3 cups plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite flavored yogurt)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 2 lemons

1/2 cup water

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Strawberry Mixture:

    - In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Toss together and let sit for about 15 minutes to release the juices, stirring occasionally.

      Make Lemonade Base:

        - In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

          Blend the Yogurt Mixture:

            - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.

              Combine Everything:

                - Once the lemonade mixture has cooled, slowly fold it into the yogurt mixture until fully combined. Then, gently stir in the marinated strawberries, making sure to keep some strawberry chunks for texture.

                  Fill the Cups:

                    - Spoon the mixture into small cups or silicone molds. Tap the cups lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles and ensure even distribution.

                      Freeze:

                        - Place the cups or molds in the freezer and let them set for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid.

                          Serve:

                            - When ready to serve, remove the cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes for easier removal. Garnish each cup with a fresh mint leaf before serving.

                              Enjoy your refreshing Frozen Yogurt Strawberry Lemonade Cups perfect for a hot day or as a delightful dessert!
