Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

Fresh fruit for topping (berries, banana slices, or kiwi)

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Coconut: In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the shredded coconut. Toast the coconut, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn it! Once toasted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

      Form the Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a large spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each scoop slightly to form coin shapes (about 2 inches in diameter).

        Sprinkle with Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the toasted coconut and chopped nuts over the yogurt coins. You can also add a few pieces of fresh fruit on top if desired.

          Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until the yogurt coins are completely frozen.

            Serving: Once frozen, carefully peel the coins off the parchment paper. You can enjoy them straight from the freezer or let them sit at room temperature for a minute or two for easier eating. Serve with additional fresh fruit, drizzling of honey, or a sprinkle of nuts if desired.

              Enjoy your delicious and refreshing Frozen Yogurt Toasted Coconut Coins!
