Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness of strawberries)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 ½ cups vanilla yogurt (Greek or regular)

½ cup crushed graham crackers

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly and let it sit for about 10 minutes to macerate, allowing the flavors to meld and the strawberries to release their juices.

    Blend the Yogurt Base: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined and smooth.

      Layer the Pops: In your popsicle molds, start by adding a layer of the macerated strawberry mixture at the bottom. Next, spoon a layer of the yogurt mix over the strawberries, ensuring it's even. Then sprinkle a layer of crushed graham crackers over the yogurt layer for that shortcake texture. Repeat the layers until the molds are filled, finishing with a layer of yogurt on top.

        Insert Sticks: If your molds come with sticks, insert them into the center of each pop. If not, freeze the pops for about 30-45 minutes first, then insert wooden sticks so they stand upright.

          Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

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