Once your molds are filled with the luscious chocolate hazelnut yogurt mixture, it’s time for the crucial freezing step. Transfer the molds carefully to the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until they are completely solid. This step is critical for achieving the right texture. If you’re in a hurry, you might be tempted to take them out too early, but resist the urge!

Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts (optional, for garnish)

Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (for added decoration)

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, chocolate hazelnut spread, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Using a whisk or spatula, mix these ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and uniformly blended.

    Prepare Your Molds: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. If you have silicone coin molds, they work great for this recipe! Alternatively, you can use a standard baking tray along with cookie cutters to create the desired coin shapes.

      Fill the Molds: Using a spoon or a piping bag for precision, carefully fill each mold with the yogurt mixture. Smooth the tops of each coin to make them level, or if you prefer, create a decorative swirl for a fun touch.

        Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet with the filled molds to the freezer. Allow the coins to freeze for a minimum of 4 to 6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

          Unmold the Coins: Once frozen, carefully remove the coins from the molds. If you're using a baking tray, leverage a cookie cutter to pop out the shapes or simply cut the yogurt mixture into squares.

            Garnish (Optional): To enhance the texture and appearance of your coins, sprinkle each one with chopped hazelnuts and add a few chocolate shavings or sprinkles before serving.

              Serve and Enjoy: Let the coins sit at room temperature for a minute or two to soften slightly for the best creamy experience. Enjoy these delectable frozen treats!
