Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (substitute with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste for desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (choose dairy-free if required)

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or opt for dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan version)

Sea salt (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Use a whisk to blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

      Incorporate Chocolate Chips:

        - Carefully fold the mini chocolate chips into the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.

          Melt the Chocolate:

            - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely smooth. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

              Assemble the Cups:

                - Line a muffin tin with silicone or paper liners. Pour approximately 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each liner, then use a spoon or brush to coat the sides of the liner with the chocolate to form a “cup” for the yogurt mixture.

                  Freeze the Chocolate Base:

                    - Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened.

                      Fill with Yogurt Mixture:

                        - Once the chocolate base is set, remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Spoon the yogurt mixture into each chocolate cup, filling about 3/4 of the way to leave room for topping.

                          Top with More Chocolate:

                            - Drizzle or spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the yogurt-filled cups, ensuring they are fully sealed. This will prevent the yogurt from freezing too hard.

                              Final Freeze:

                                - Return the muffin tin to the freezer and freeze the cups for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

                                  Serve:

                                    - After freezing, gently peel away the liners to remove the cups from the muffin tin. Garnish each cup with a light sprinkle of sea salt and a fresh mint leaf on top for an elegant touch.

                                      Enjoy:

                                        - Allow the cups to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to achieve the best texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
