Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

1 cup crushed pretzels (approximately 2 cups of whole pretzels)

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Optional: additional crushed pretzels for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well integrated and the mixture is smooth. Taste test the sweetness and feel free to adjust by adding more honey or syrup if desired.

    Incorporate Strawberries: Gently fold the diced fresh strawberries into the yogurt mixture, being careful to keep the strawberries intact to maintain texture. Once combined, set this yogurt-strawberry mixture aside.

      Create the Pretzel Crust: In a separate bowl, mix together the crushed pretzels, melted coconut oil, and sea salt. Stir well to ensure that all pretzel crumbs are evenly coated with the oil, which will help them form a cohesive crust.

        Shape the Rounds: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon to scoop small portions of the pretzel mixture, then press them flat on the parchment to create round shapes about 2 inches in diameter.

          Add Yogurt Topping: Spoon the strawberry yogurt mixture onto each pretzel round, spreading it gently while leaving the edges of the pretzel crust exposed for a beautiful, rustic appearance.

            Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt topping is completely frozen and firm.

              Serve: Once fully frozen, remove the frosted rounds from the parchment paper and serve them immediately. For an extra delightful crunch, sprinkle additional crushed pretzels on top just before serving.
