Frozen yogurt, commonly referred to as "froyo," combines yogurt with air and other ingredients to create a smooth and creamy dessert. Unlike ice cream, which is typically made with a base of cream and sugar, frozen yogurt is primarily made with yogurt, which significantly alters its nutritional profile. This difference makes frozen yogurt a compelling option for those looking to indulge without the guilt associated with traditional ice cream.

Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla flavored)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes

1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Fresh fruit slices (e.g., strawberries, bananas, kiwi) for topping

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Shape the Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or an ice cream scooper, scoop out the yogurt mixture and drop it onto the baking sheet to form coin-like shapes (about 2-3 inches wide). You can make about 12-15 coins depending on the size.

      Add Coconut Flakes: Immediately after shaping the yogurt coins, sprinkle a generous amount of toasted coconut flakes on top. Gently press the flakes into the yogurt to ensure they stick.

        Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If you want to add a chocolate element, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each yogurt coin.

          Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until the yogurt coins are completely frozen and firm.

            Arrange and Serve: Once frozen, carefully remove the yogurt coins from the baking sheet. You can allow them to sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes for easier handling. Top each coin with fresh fruit slices and garnish with mint leaves if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve these delightful Frozen Yogurt Toasted Coconut Coins immediately as a refreshing snack or dessert on a warm day!
