Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla for added flavor)

1/4 cup honey or pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup granola (select your favorite variety)

1/2 cup mixed berries (consider strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

Pinch of salt

Optional: Sliced almonds or crushed nuts for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or spatula to mix until all the ingredients are well blended and the mixture is creamy and smooth.

    Toast the Coconut: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the unsweetened shredded coconut to the skillet. Toast the coconut for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even browning. Watch closely to prevent burning! Once it reaches a golden brown color and releases a nutty aroma, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

      Assemble the Toasted Coconut Rounds: Line a baking tray or a large plate with parchment paper. Using a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut out round shapes from a thick slice of your preferred bread, such as brioche, sourdough, or gluten-free alternatives.

        Spread the Yogurt Mixture: Generously spread the prepared yogurt mixture over each bread round. Ensure the yogurt creates a thick, even layer covering the entire surface of the bread to enhance flavor.

          Top with Coconut & Berries: Sprinkle a layer of the toasted coconut atop the yogurt-covered rounds. Follow this with a handful of granola and a colorful mix of your choice of berries. Get artistic with your arrangement for an aesthetically pleasing presentation!

            Chill and Serve: Place the assembled rounds on the lined tray and transfer them to the freezer. Allow them to chill for about 30 minutes or until they firm up. Serve the coconut rounds straight from the freezer as a delightful and refreshing treat. For an extra touch, garnish with sliced almonds or crushed nuts if desired.
