Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

Zest of 2 large lemons

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup granola (choose your favorite variety or make it homemade)

1/4 cup coconut flakes (optional for added texture)

A pinch of sea salt

Fresh lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a whisk or spatula to ensure the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Add Crunch: Carefully fold in the granola and coconut flakes. Use a spatula to gently mix, ensuring that the crunchy elements are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture without breaking them apart.

      Drop the Mixture: With a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drop each spoonful about 2 inches apart to allow for ample space as they freeze. Keep the drops rounded to maintain their shape.

        Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the drops to freeze for at least 3 hours, or until they are firm to the touch and fully frozen.

          Serve: When you're ready to enjoy, carefully remove the frozen drops from the baking sheet. If they adhere to the paper, let them sit at room temperature for a minute or two to ease removal. Arrange the drops on a serving platter for a delightful presentation.

            Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch of color and freshness, garnish your drops with fresh lemon slices and sprigs of mint before serving.

              Enjoy: These Frozen Yogurt Lemon Crunch Drops are a perfect refreshing treat or light dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer, where they will keep well for up to a week.
