Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee (cooled to room temperature)

1/2 cup milk (choose between dairy or non-dairy)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: chocolate shavings or finely chopped nuts for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Coffee Base: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled brewed espresso (or coffee) and milk until they are well combined. Ensure the coffee has cooled to room temperature; this step is crucial to prevent the yogurt from melting upon mixing.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a large bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Using a whisk or an electric mixer at low speed, blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy with a luscious texture.

      Combine the Mixtures: Slowly fold the coffee mixture into the yogurt mixture using a spatula. Combine gently until you achieve a uniform consistency, taking care to preserve some of the creamy yogurt swirls for visual appeal.

        Pour into Molds: Carefully pour or spoon the mixture into popsicle molds, ensuring to leave about half an inch of space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion when freezing. If desired, you can sprinkle in some chocolate shavings or finely chopped nuts at this stage for added texture and flavor.

          Insert Sticks: Place the popsicle sticks into the center of each mold. If your molds do not include built-in sticks, freeze the mixture for approximately 1 hour until slightly firm before inserting the sticks carefully.

            Freeze: Cover the molds with a lid or a layer of plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours or until the pops are completely solid.

              Unmold the Pops: When ready to serve, briefly run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. This will help loosen the pops. Carefully pull each popsicle from the molds.

                Serve: Indulge in your refreshing Greek Yogurt Cappuccino Pops immediately! For an added touch, consider garnishing with a dusting of cinnamon or an extra sprinkle of chocolate shavings to enhance the presentation.
