Ingredients
  

2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (for the best flavor)

1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon fresh orange zest

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, orange zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the mixture to see if it meets your sweetness preference. If you desire a sweeter flavor, add more honey or maple syrup, blend again briefly to mix, and taste once more until you're satisfied.

      Fill Your Cups: Carefully pour the creamy orange mixture into small cups or silicone molds. Make sure to leave a little space at the top in each container to allow for expansion as they freeze.

        Freeze: Place the filled cups in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

          Serve: When you're ready to enjoy, remove the cups from the freezer and let them sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. You can either scoop the creamy delight out with a spoon or serve directly in the cups. Optional: Before serving, feel free to sprinkle your favorite toppings over the top for added flavor and texture.

            Get Creative: For a playful twist, consider inserting a popsicle stick into the center of each cup halfway through the freezing process. This transforms your creamy cups into delightful ice pops!
