Ingredients

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (preferably 70% cocoa)

1/4 cup chopped almonds (or your preferred nut)

Pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, chia seeds, or additional chopped nuts

Instructions

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until well blended and smooth.

Mold the Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, portion dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment to form circles (approximately 2 inches in diameter). Aim for about 12 coins.

Add the Chocolate and Nuts: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Drizzle a small amount of melted chocolate over each yogurt coin and sprinkle with chopped almonds. Feel free to add any optional toppings at this stage.

Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt is firm and completely frozen.

Serve: Once frozen, remove from the freezer and carefully peel the yogurt coins off the parchment paper. Serve immediately for the best texture, or transfer them to an airtight container and store in the freezer for later enjoyment.
