Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 cup medjool dates, pitted and roughly chopped

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted (optional for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dates: Place the chopped medjool dates in a food processor. Blend until the dates form a smooth and creamy consistency. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a small splash of water to help it blend. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Once blended, set the date mixture aside.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, your choice of honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a sturdy spatula or whisk to mix until everything is well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

      Incorporate the Dates: Gradually add the smooth date mixture into the yogurt mixture. Stir thoroughly until the date blend is fully combined with the yogurt, resulting in a creamy consistency that has small bits of date sprinkled throughout.

        Shape the Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the yogurt-date mixture, and shape it into flat, coin-like discs, about 1/2 inch thick. Space them evenly on the baking sheet.

          Coat with Coconut: Roll each yogurt coin into the shredded coconut until every surface is fully coated. This coconut layer adds a delightful texture and flavor profile to the delicious coins.

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

              Drizzle with Chocolate (Optional): If you choose to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate using a microwave or a double boiler. Once the yogurt coins are frozen and firm, remove them from the freezer and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each coin. Return them to the freezer for a few minutes to let the chocolate set.

                Serve: Enjoy your Frozen Yogurt Coconut Date Coins straight from the freezer as a refreshing treat! They can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, ensuring you have a sweet snack on hand.
