Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla flavored)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup granola (your choice)

1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Pinch of salt

Sliced almonds or crushed nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Toast the Coconut: In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the shredded coconut. Toast for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the coconut is golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn it! Once toasted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

      Assemble the Toasted Coconut Rounds: Take a baking tray or a large plate and line it with parchment paper. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out round shapes from a thick slice of your favorite bread (such as brioche, sourdough, or gluten-free bread).

        Add the Yogurt: Spread a generous layer of the yogurt mixture onto each round of bread. Ensure you cover the entire surface for maximum flavor.

          Top with Coconut & Berries: Sprinkle a layer of toasted coconut on top of the yogurt-covered rounds, followed by a handful of granola and a mix of your favorite berries. Feel free to get creative with the arrangement for a beautiful presentation!

            Chill and Serve: Place the finished rounds on the tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up. Once set, serve them straight from the freezer as a refreshing, indulgent treat. Garnish with sliced almonds or crushed nuts if desired. Enjoy!
