Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup dark chocolate chips (semisweet or dairy-free)

1 cup granola (choose your favorite or make your own)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

A pinch of sea salt (for garnish)

Optional: sprinkles or coconut flakes for decoration

Instructions
 

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

    Create Coin Shapes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper, creating round coin shapes about 2 inches in diameter. Ensure there’s space between each dollop as they will spread slightly.

      Add Toppings: While the yogurt is still soft, sprinkle a generous amount of granola and chopped nuts on top of each coin. Press them down lightly to adhere.

        Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler if you prefer.

          Drizzle Chocolate: Using a fork or a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over each yogurt coin, creating a beautiful pattern. You can fully coat the coins or just drizzle on top, depending on your preference.

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

              Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the coins from the parchment paper and place them in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Before serving, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for that extra flavor kick. Enjoy straight from the freezer for a refreshing treat!
