Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream for a tangy flavor)

1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted for smoothness

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tbsp honey (optional, for additional sweetness)

A pinch of sea salt

Miniature muffin liners (for easy serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: In a medium bowl, use a fork to mash the chopped strawberries until they are slightly chunky, allowing for some pieces to remain intact for texture. Set the bowl aside to let the flavors mingle.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.

      Fold in Strawberries: Carefully fold the mashed strawberries into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be gentle so that the strawberries are well distributed throughout the mixture while retaining some of their texture for added bite.

        Create the Crust: In another bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and honey (if using). Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the texture resembles wet sand, perfect for forming a crust.

          Assemble the Coin Bites: Line a mini muffin tin with the miniature muffin liners. Press approximately 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner, ensuring a solid, flat crust.

            Add the Filling: Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the creamy cheesecake mixture on top of each crust in the liners. Leave a little space at the top to allow the bites room to expand slightly as they freeze.

              Freeze: Carefully transfer the muffin tin to the freezer and let it sit for at least 4 hours, or until the coin bites are fully frozen and solid.

                Serve: Once frozen, gently remove the coin bites from the muffin tin and peel away the liners. Any leftover bites can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for a cool treat later.

                  Enjoy Your Treat: For a refreshing dessert experience, enjoy these delightful coin bites straight from the freezer whenever you desire a sweet, fruity snack!
