Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or dairy-free if preferred)

3/4 cup sliced almonds

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: a few drops of almond extract for an extra almond flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a few drops of almond extract if using. Stir until well combined and creamy.

      Mold the Coins:

        - Using a silicone mold or a parchment-lined baking sheet, pour tablespoon-sized dollops of the yogurt mixture into round shapes. Spread them into circles about 1/2 inch thick.

          Sprinkle the Toppings:

            - Before the yogurt coins freeze, sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over each one. Press lightly so they stick into the yogurt.

              Melt the Chocolate:

                - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave, stopping to stir every 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.

                  Drizzle the Chocolate:

                    - Using a fork or a piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over the yogurt and almond coins in a decorative pattern.

                      Freeze:

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

                          Serve and Enjoy:

                            - Once frozen, remove the coins from the mold or break them off from the parchment paper. Serve immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
