Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon coconut extract

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1 cup dark chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: crushed nuts, cacao nibs, or extra shredded coconut

Instructions
 

Mix Yogurt Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and coconut extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring all ingredients are well blended.

    Prepare the Ring Molds: Lightly grease a silicone donut mold with cooking spray or rub it with a small amount of oil. Alternatively, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to form ring shapes.

      Fill the Molds: Use a spoon or spatula to carefully fill each mold or ring shape with the yogurt mixture, packing it in about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops to ensure an even surface.

        Add Coconut: Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the tops of the filled molds, gently pressing it down into the yogurt mixture to help it stick.

          Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely for about 4-6 hours, or until firm to the touch.

            Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring vigorously in between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

              Dip the Rings: Once the yogurt rings are completely frozen, carefully remove them from the molds. Dip each frozen ring into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the chocolate-coated rings on a parchment-lined tray.

                Add Salt & Toppings: While the melted chocolate is still warm, lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each ring. Add any desired optional toppings such as crushed nuts, cacao nibs, or extra shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.

                  Final Freeze: Return the chocolate-dipped yogurt rings to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set firmly.

                    Serve: Once set, enjoy your Frozen Yogurt Choco Coconut Rings directly from the freezer! Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
