Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup full-fat canned coconut milk (for optimal creaminess)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup chopped nuts (suggested: almonds or pecans)

Optional: Fresh fruit (such as blueberries or strawberries) or dark chocolate chips for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth and thoroughly blended.

    Add Coconut and Nuts: Gently fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut and chopped nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly mixed throughout the yogurt base.

      Form the Discs: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Take a tablespoon and scoop dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment, shaping each scoop into flat discs approximately 1/2 inch thick. If desired, use a spatula to smooth out the edges for a neater appearance.

        Optional Toppings: If you choose to enhance your yogurt discs, sprinkle fresh fruit or dark chocolate chips onto the surface of each disc before placing them in the freezer.

          Freeze: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the discs to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely solid and firm to the touch.

            Serve: Once the discs have frozen thoroughly, remove them from the baking sheet. For easy storage, transfer the discs to a freezer-safe container, placing parchment paper between layers if you prefer. Enjoy these delightful treats straight from the freezer for a refreshing snack!
