Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain for a tangy flavor or flavored for added sweetness)

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries) for topping

Dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a garnish (optional, for added richness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Coconut: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet. Toast it in the oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep a close watch to prevent burning; you want it to be golden brown. Once toasted, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if desired), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it’s smooth and sweetened to your liking.

      Form the Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, scoop out dollops of the yogurt mixture and place them on the parchment, forming 1-2 inch circles. Gently flatten each dollop to shape them into even disks.

        Add Coconut: Evenly sprinkle the toasted coconut over the tops of the yogurt coins. Press down lightly to ensure that the coconut sticks to the yogurt.

          Freeze: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until the yogurt coins are solid.

            Serve: Once thoroughly frozen, gently lift the yogurt coins off the parchment paper. Top each coin with a handful of fresh berries, and if you wish, add a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs for an extra delicious twist.

              Enjoy: Serve right away or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Perfect for a refreshing snack or a healthy dessert!
