Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (you may use plain or vanilla flavored)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes

1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional, for a drizzle)

Fresh fruit slices (such as strawberries, bananas, or kiwi) for topping

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well-blended and smooth, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

    Shape the Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Using a spoon or an ice cream scooper, portion out the yogurt mixture and drop it onto the parchment paper to form coin-like shapes, each approximately 2-3 inches wide. Aim for about 12-15 coins, adjusting the size based on how many you wish to make.

      Add Coconut Flakes: Once the yogurt coins are shaped, immediately sprinkle a generous amount of toasted coconut flakes over the top of each coin. Lightly press the flakes into the yogurt mixture to secure them in place.

        Optional Chocolate Drizzle: For a delicious chocolatey twist, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in 30-second increments, stirring in between until completely smooth. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over each yogurt coin.

          Freeze the Coins: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the yogurt coins freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely firm and frozen solid.

            Arrange and Serve: Once the yogurt coins are frozen, gently remove them from the parchment paper. If necessary, allow them to sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes for easier handling. Decorate each coin with fresh fruit slices of your choice and add mint leaves on top for a pop of color and freshness.

              Enjoy: Serve these delightful Frozen Yogurt Toasted Coconut Coins immediately as a cool and refreshing snack or dessert, perfect for indulging on a hot day!
