Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)

Zest of 2 lemons

½ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for sweetening the crust)

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar (if using), and salt. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a mini muffin tin (about 24 molds) to form crusts. Use a firm flat object (like a shot glass) to press it down evenly.

    Make the Yogurt Filling: In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

      Assemble the Coins: Spoon the lemon yogurt mixture into each crust in the muffin tin, filling them to the top. Smooth the tops with a spatula for a neat finish.

        Freeze: Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully solid.

          Serve: Once frozen, remove the coins from the muffin tin by gently pressing from the bottom or using a butter knife to loosen the edges. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.

            Garnish (optional): Add a fresh mint leaf on top of each coin for a touch of color and flavor before serving.
