Ingredients
Scale
Frozen Yogurt Base
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Shape the coins: Using a spoon or spatula, scoop out small portions of the yogurt mixture and shape them into coins approximately 1 inch thick on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy removal later.
- Initial freezing: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the yogurt coins to freeze for at least 2 hours or until solid to ensure they hold their shape in the next steps.
- Melt the chocolate: While the coins freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between intervals, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Add toppings: Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the frozen yogurt coins, then sprinkle the chopped almonds on top to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
- Final freezing: Return the decorated yogurt coins to the freezer and freeze for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate topping to set perfectly before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup as the sweetener.
- You can customize the toppings by using different nuts or adding shredded coconut.
- To easily remove the coins from the parchment, allow them to thaw for 1-2 minutes before serving.
- Store leftover coins in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or syrup according to taste.
