Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (you can choose either plain or vanilla flavored for a hint of sweetness)

1/2 cup shelled pistachio nuts, finely chopped (and remember to reserve a tablespoon for garnishing)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (your choice for natural sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for aromatic flavor)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (to enhance all the flavors)

1 cup granola (for that delightful crunch)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for a luscious drizzle on top)

Instructions
 

Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a spatula or whisk to stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.

    Prepare the Pistachios: Finely chop the shelled pistachio nuts with a knife, making sure to reserve about a tablespoon for garnishing later on. This will add a nice crunchy topping to your coins!

      Add the Crunch: Gently fold the finely chopped pistachios and the granola into the yogurt mixture using a spatula. Make sure they're evenly distributed throughout for that irresistible crunch in every bite.

        Mold the Coins: Take a silicone mold or a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners, and scoop about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture into each cavity. Smooth out the tops gently with the back of a spoon to create an even surface.

          Freeze the Coins: Carefully place the filled molds in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the yogurt coins are completely solid.

            Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If you'd like to add a chocolatey flair, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate over the frozen yogurt coins right before serving.

              Release and Serve: Once the coins are frozen, carefully pop them out of the molds and arrange them on a serving plate. Garnish the tops with the reserved chopped pistachios for a colorful and crunchy finish.

                Enjoy Your Treat: You're ready to serve! Enjoy these delightful frozen yogurt coins immediately, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
