Ingredients
  

2 cups ripe peaches, peeled and diced

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose either plain or vanilla for flavor)

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

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice (for brightness)

1/2 cup granola (optional, for a delightful topping)

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Begin by peeling and dicing the ripe peaches into small, bite-sized pieces. If you like, set aside a few peach pieces to use as a garnish later for an appealing finish.

    Blend the Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the diced peaches, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), grated ginger, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Taste the blend and, if desired, add more honey or maple syrup to enhance the sweetness.

      Strain for Creaminess (Optional): If you prefer an ultra-smooth texture, strain the peach yogurt mixture through a fine mesh sieve to eliminate any remaining peach skins or fibers. This step is optional based on your texture preference.

        Prepare for Freezing: Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there's some overhang to facilitate easy removal later. Pour the peach yogurt mixture into the prepared dish, using a spatula to smooth it into an even layer.

          Freeze: Cover the dish securely with plastic wrap or a lid. Place it in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until the mixture is completely solid.

            Cut into Squares: After the mixture has fully frozen, remove it from the freezer. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the frozen block out of the baking dish and transfer it to a cutting board. Cut it into squares of your preferred size.

              Serve: For a delightful added crunch, top each square with granola. For a fresh and appealing presentation, garnish with sprigs of fresh mint and a few of the reserved peach pieces.

                Store: Any leftover squares can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer. They will maintain their quality for up to two weeks, should you need a refreshing treat later on.
