Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup unsalted pistachios, shelled and finely chopped

1/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Dark chocolate chips, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, your choice of honey or maple syrup, and the vanilla extract. Use a spatula or whisk to stir the mixture until it is completely smooth and the ingredients are well incorporated.

    Prepare the Crunch Mixture: In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the finely chopped pistachios, almond flour, shredded coconut, sea salt, and ground cinnamon (if you choose to use it). Mix thoroughly with a spoon until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Create the Coins: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Using a tablespoon, scoop the yogurt mixture and drop small dollops onto the baking sheet, ensuring to leave space between each dollop. Gently flatten each mound to form a coin shape, aiming for approximately 2 inches in diameter.

        Add the Crunch Topping: Generously sprinkle the prepared pistachio mixture over each yogurt coin. Press down lightly on the topping to ensure it sticks to the yogurt base.

          Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the coins to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Drizzle with Chocolate (Optional): If you wish to enhance the flavor with chocolate, melt a handful of dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or use a double boiler. Once melted, use a fork or a piping bag to drizzle the chocolate over the frozen yogurt coins after they've been taken out of the freezer.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen solid, gently peel the coins off the parchment paper. Serve them immediately for a delightful treat, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.
