Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen if fresh are out of season)

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3-4 medium lemons)

1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (adjustable according to your sweetness preference)

1 cup chilled coconut cream (ensure it's fully cooled for best texture)

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan alternative)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberry Puree: In a blender, combine the raspberries with 1/4 cup of honey or agave syrup. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined. For a seedless texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve, using a spoon to push the liquid through. Set the smooth raspberry puree aside.

    Make the Lemonade Base: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the remaining honey/agave syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved and the mixture is well blended.

      Combine Cream Mixture: In another mixing bowl, use a whisk or electric mixer to blend the chilled coconut cream, plain Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract together. Whisk until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring there are no lumps.

        Layer the Ingredients: Prepare a silicone coin mold with approximately 2-inch diameters. Start by adding a spoonful of the raspberry puree to the bottom of each mold compartment. Follow this with a layer of the prepared lemonade mixture, then finish with a layer of the creamy coconut-yogurt blend. Repeat the layering process until each mold is filled, ensuring the top layer is the cream mixture for a beautiful finish.

          Freeze: Carefully transfer the filled molds to the freezer. Allow them to freeze undisturbed for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Serve: Once the cream coins are fully frozen, gently remove them from the molds. If they resist coming out, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds to loosen them without melting the coins too much.

              Enjoy Your Treat: Serve your Frozen Raspberry Lemonade Cream Coins on a sunny day for a refreshing treat! They can be enjoyed alone or shared with friends and family.
