Instructions

Prepare baking surface: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy clean-up.
Prepare strawberries: Wash and pat dry the strawberries thoroughly. Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise to create half-circle shapes.
Combine yogurt coating: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if using. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Dip strawberries: Hold each strawberry half by the cut side and dip the rounded side halfway into the yogurt mixture. Allow any excess yogurt to drip off to avoid clumps.
Arrange dipped fruit: Place the yogurt-coated strawberry halves, cut side down, onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Add optional garnishes: Immediately sprinkle the coated side with your choice of finely chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or mini dark chocolate chips for texture and extra flavor.
Freeze the baking sheet: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until the yogurt coating is firm and set.
Serve or store: Enjoy these cold as a refreshing treat right away, or transfer them to an airtight container and keep frozen until ready to serve.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
If you prefer a sweeter coating, adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
You can substitute toppings to cater to your preferences or dietary needs.
Store the finished strawberries in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
Allow frozen strawberries to thaw for a few minutes before eating if you prefer a softer texture.
