Ingredients
  

2 cups of Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla based on your preference)

1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup (as a natural sweetener)

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (for enhanced flavor)

1/2 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut (adds a tropical twist)

1/2 cup of chopped almonds (opt for toasted for an extra depth of flavor)

1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips (or melting chocolate for easy dipping)

A pinch of sea salt (to elevate the taste)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a sizable mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

    Add Coconut and Almonds: Carefully fold in the shredded coconut and the chopped almonds into the creamy yogurt base. Ensure that both ingredients are evenly distributed throughout.

      Spread and Freeze: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the yogurt mixture into the dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer. Cover securely with plastic wrap and place the dish in the freezer for about 4 hours or until the yogurt is completely firm.

        Prepare Chocolate Coating: While your yogurt base is freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips. You can do this by using a microwave-safe bowl and heating in 30-second increments, stirring in between, or by using a double boiler for more controlled melting.

          Slice and Dip: Once the yogurt is solidified, carefully remove it from the freezer. Lift the yogurt block out using the edges of the parchment paper, and transfer it to a cutting board. Cut it into rectangles or squares, approximately 1 inch wide.

            Coat with Chocolate: Dip each slice halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl. Place the chocolate-coated slices onto a baking sheet lined with fresh parchment paper.

              Sprinkle and Set: Before the chocolate hardens completely, sprinkle each slice with a pinch of sea salt to enhance its flavor profile. Once all the slices are coated, return them to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set properly.

                Serve: After the chocolate has solidified, remove the slices from the freezer. You can enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later indulgence.
