Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose between plain or coconut-flavored)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or use dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: chopped nuts or seeds for added topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk them together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the sweetener and vanilla are well integrated.

    Incorporate the Coconut: Gently fold in the shredded coconut into the yogurt mixture using a spatula or large spoon, stirring until the coconut is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.

      Form the Yogurt Rounds: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each dollop slightly to form rounds that are about 1/2 inch thick, ensuring you leave a small space between each round to prevent sticking.

        Freeze the Rounds: Carefully place the lined baking sheet in the freezer and allow the yogurt rounds to freeze for approximately 2 hours, or until they are completely solid.

          Melt the Chocolate: While the yogurt rounds are freezing, prepare to melt the chocolate. You can use a double boiler on the stove or a microwave-safe bowl. If you opt for the microwave, heat the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.

            Coat the Yogurt Rounds: Once the yogurt rounds are solid, take them out of the freezer. Dip each round individually into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back onto the lined baking sheet.

              Sprinkle Toppings (optional): If you wish to add extra texture, sprinkle your choice of chopped nuts or seeds on top of each round while the chocolate is still wet, giving it a delightful crunch.

                Final Freeze: Place the chocolate-coated yogurt rounds back into the freezer for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set completely.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Indulge in these delicious frozen chocolate coconut yogurt rounds as a refreshing dessert or snack straight from the freezer. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
