Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite yogurt variant)

1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

1/2 cup granola (select your favorite variety)

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for drizzling)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Using a spatula, mix vigorously until the ingredients are smooth and well blended.

    Incorporate the Crunch Ingredients: Gently fold the chopped pistachios, granola, and fine sea salt into the yogurt mixture. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout without deflating the yogurt.

      Shape the Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop portions of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment, shaping each dollop into coins that are about 2 inches in diameter.

        Freeze the Coins: Place the baking sheet carefully in the freezer. Allow the yogurt coins to freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

          Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If you wish to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each session until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. After the yogurt coins are frozen, carefully drizzle the melted chocolate over each one. Return the baking sheet to the freezer for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove the frozen yogurt coins from the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to make peeling them off easier. If desired, garnish each coin with fresh mint leaves for an added pop of color and freshness. Enjoy these delightful, crunchy treats!
