Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Sprinkles or crushed nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

    Incorporate Coconut: Gently fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut with a spatula, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.

      Mold the Rings: Take a silicone donut mold or any round silicone mold and carefully scoop the yogurt mixture into each cavity. Use a spatula to smooth the tops, ensuring to leave a hole in the center if using a donut mold.

        Freeze: Transfer the filled mold to the freezer and allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the yogurt rings are completely solid.

          Melt the Chocolate: In a small microwavable bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

            Prepare Chocolate Coating: Once the yogurt rings are fully frozen, gently remove them from the molds. Dip each ring halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.

              Garnish: Before the chocolate coating sets, feel free to sprinkle additional shredded coconut or crushed nuts over the chocolate for extra texture and flavor.

                Final Freeze: Return the chocolate-dipped rings to a parchment-lined baking tray. Place them back into the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has fully hardened.

                  Serve: Once the chocolate is firm, your Frozen Yogurt Choco Coconut Rings are ready to enjoy! You can eat them straight from the freezer or let them sit for a couple of minutes to soften slightly before indulging.
