Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 cup medjool dates, pitted and chopped

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted (optional for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dates: In a food processor, blend the chopped medjool dates until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a tiny splash of water to help blend. Scrape down the sides as necessary. Set aside.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Blend in the Dates: Incorporate the date mixture into the yogurt blend, stirring until fully mixed. The mixture should have a sweet, creamy consistency with small bits of date throughout.

        Shape the Coins: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, use a tablespoon to scoop the yogurt-date mixture, molding it into flat, coin-shaped discs. Aim for about 1/2 inch thick.

          Coat with Coconut: Roll each yogurt coin in the shredded coconut until fully coated. This will provide a delicious texture and added flavor.

            Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the coins to freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.

              Drizzle with Chocolate (Optional): If desired, melt dark chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Once the yogurt coins are frozen solid, drizzle the melted chocolate over them for a delightful add-on. Return to the freezer to allow the chocolate to harden.

                Serve: Enjoy the Frozen Yogurt Coconut Date Coins directly from the freezer as a refreshing treat. They can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
