Ingredients
  

For the Yogurt Base:

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup espresso (cooled)

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

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Hazelnut Layer:

1/2 cup finely chopped hazelnuts (toasted if desired)

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Pinch of salt

For the Topping:

1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cooled espresso, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

    Make the Hazelnut Layer: In a separate bowl, mix the chopped hazelnuts, cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt. Stir until you have a crumbly mixture.

      Line the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

        Layer the Yogurt: Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

          Add the Hazelnut Layer: Sprinkle the hazelnut mixture evenly over the yogurt layer, gently pressing it down with a spatula to ensure it adheres.

            Freeze: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.

              Create the Drizzle (Optional): If using, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl (microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) until smooth. Let cool slightly before drizzling.

                Cut and Serve: Once the yogurt squares are completely frozen, lift them out of the baking dish using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and drizzle with melted chocolate (if desired) before serving. Enjoy these delightful frozen treats!
