Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup crushed hazelnuts (for topping)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chocolate hazelnut spread, honey (or maple syrup, if desired), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Using a whisk or spatula, blend the mixture until it is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Mold the Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the yogurt mixture, placing it onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape each dollop into a coin shape (about 1/2 inch thick). Aim for around 12-15 coins, depending on the size you prefer.

      Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the crushed hazelnuts over each yogurt coin, gently pressing them into the mixture to ensure they adhere well. Following that, add a handful of mini chocolate chips on top of the coins for an extra delicious touch.

        Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer, allowing the coins to freeze for at least 4 hours or until they are completely solid. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.

          Remove and Serve: After the coins are fully frozen, gently lift each one from the parchment paper. Place them in an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, making them perfect for a quick treat.

            Enjoy: Delight in your Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Hazelnut Coins straight from the freezer! These treats perfectly blend the creamy richness of yogurt with the indulgent flavors of chocolate and hazelnuts, making for an enjoyable dessert or snack option.
