Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped

1/4 cup granola (lightly sweetened)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and uniform in texture.

      Incorporate the Crunch:

        - Carefully fold in the finely chopped pistachios and sweetened granola. Ensure these crunchy ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture for a delightful texture in every bite.

          Shape the Coins:

            - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the yogurt mixture onto the prepared sheet, forming coin-sized rounds that are about 1-2 inches in diameter. Space them apart to prevent sticking.

              Add the Toppings:

                - If you're opting for chocolate, sprinkle a few dark chocolate chips on top of each yogurt coin. Then, finish off with a delicate pinch of sea salt, which will elevate the flavors and add a touch of sophistication.

                  Freeze the Coins:

                    - Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the yogurt coins to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely solid to the touch.

                      Serve and Store:

                        - Once frozen, gently peel the coins off the parchment paper and serve immediately for the best experience. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.

                          Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes | Servings: 12-15 coins

                            - Serving Suggestion: Arrange the frozen coins on a decorative plate and garnish with a few extra chopped pistachios and fresh berries for a vibrant presentation that will impress your guests!
