Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely diced

1 cup fresh kiwis, peeled and finely diced

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (to taste)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for an added crunch)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the strawberries and kiwis thoroughly. Hull and finely dice the strawberries, then peel and finely dice the kiwis. Set the prepared fruits aside in separate bowls.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and uniform mixture.

      Incorporate the Fruits: Carefully fold the diced strawberries and kiwis into the yogurt mixture, ensuring that the fruit is evenly distributed. If you choose to include nuts for added texture, gently mix them in at this point.

        Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some overhang on the sides, as this will help in lifting the frozen squares out later.

          Spread the Mixture: Pour the yogurt and fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth it out evenly, making sure it reaches all corners of the dish.

            Freeze the Mixture: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4 to 6 hours, or until the mixture is completely solid.

              Cut into Squares: Once the yogurt mixture is fully frozen, remove the baking dish from the freezer. Using the overhanging parchment paper, lift the frozen block out of the dish and place it on a cutting board. Carefully cut it into squares of your desired size.

                Serve and Store: Enjoy the squares immediately for a refreshing treat, or transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to a month for future enjoyment.
