Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or your favorite flavored variety)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to your liking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 ripe banana, sliced into ½-inch thick coins

Fresh fruit (such as mixed berries, diced mango, or sliced kiwi) for topping

Dark chocolate drizzle (optional, for an indulgent touch)

Instructions
 

Prep the Coconut: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the shredded coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast the coconut in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure that it toasts evenly. Keep a close eye on it, as coconut can burn quickly. You want it to turn a beautiful golden brown.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Using a whisk or spoon, stir the mixture until it’s smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness to suit your preference.

      Assemble the Coins: On a clean flat surface or a parchment-lined baking sheet, lay out the banana slices. Take a spoon or spatula and spread a generous dollop of the yogurt mixture over each banana coin, covering them thoroughly.

        Add the Coconut: Sprinkle the toasted coconut over each yogurt-covered banana slice. Gently press down with your fingers to help the coconut adhere to the yogurt.

          Freeze: Arrange the banana coins in the freezer and let them freeze for a minimum of 2 hours or until they are completely solid.

            Serve: After they have frozen, remove the banana coins from the freezer. For an extra touch of luxury, you can drizzle melted dark chocolate over each coin before serving. Enjoy these delightful snacks immediately as a refreshing treat or dessert!
