Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup grated carrots (approximately 2 medium carrots)

1/2 cup natural sweetener (honey or maple syrup works well)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup crushed pineapple (drained of excess liquid)

1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts (or pecans)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Optional Garnish: additional walnuts, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of honey

Instructions
 

Prepare the Carrots: Begin by washing and peeling your carrots. Then, grate them using either a box grater or food processor. Once grated, set the carrots aside for later use.

    Create the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, natural sweetener, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well integrated.

      Incorporate the Add-ins: Carefully fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, chopped walnuts, and shredded coconut. Mix gently until all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt base.

        Transfer to a Container: Spoon the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Use a spatula to smooth the top, ensuring an even surface. To create a beautiful swirl effect, take a knife and gently swirl it through the yogurt mixture, forming marbled patterns.

          Freeze: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze for approximately 4-6 hours, or until it is fully set and firm.

            Serve: When you're ready to enjoy the frozen yogurt, remove the container from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Use a scoop to serve into bowls or cones, and enhance each serving with a sprinkle of additional walnuts, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of honey, if desired.
