To create the perfect frozen yogurt mixture for your Toasted Coconut Coins, start with high-quality yogurt. Greek yogurt is an excellent choice due to its creamy texture and rich flavor, which will enhance the overall taste of your dessert.

Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup, to taste

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

Fresh fruit for topping (such as mixed berries, banana slices, or kiwi)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

    Toast the Coconut: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the shredded coconut. Continuously stir the coconut for about 3-5 minutes, or until it is golden brown and releases a fragrant aroma. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. Once toasted to perfection, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly on a plate.

      Form the Yogurt Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal later. Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper. Gently flatten each scoop with the back of the spoon to create coin shapes, each about 2 inches in diameter.

        Add the Toppings: As soon as the yogurt coins are shaped, evenly sprinkle the toasted coconut and chopped nuts over the surface of each coin. For an extra pop of color and flavor, add small pieces of fresh fruit on top as well, if desired.

          Freeze the Coins: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the yogurt coins to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, take the baking sheet out of the freezer. Gently peel the yogurt coins off the parchment paper. Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a cool treat, or let them sit at room temperature for a minute or two to soften slightly for easier eating. If you'd like, serve with additional fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a light sprinkle of nuts for extra flavor.

              Enjoy your delicious and refreshing Frozen Yogurt Toasted Coconut Coins!
