Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or your preferred non-dairy alternative)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully blended.

    Add Extras: If you choose to incorporate mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts, gently fold these into the yogurt mixture using a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout.

      Spoon into Molds: Carefully spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds, mini muffin tins, or parchment-lined baking sheets, ensuring each compartment is filled about 3/4 full to allow for expansion during freezing.

        Create the Swirl Effect: To achieve an appealing marbled look, take a toothpick or small skewer and elegantly swirl it through the yogurt mixture, creating a decorative pattern without overmixing.

          Freeze: Transfer the molds or trays to the freezer, allowing them to freeze completely for at least 4 hours, or until they are solid all the way through.

            Remove from Molds: Once frozen, gently extract the yogurt coins from the molds or trays. If using silicone molds, you can pull them out easily; for a mini muffin tin or baking sheet, utilize a spatula to pry them loose. If they are difficult to remove, let them rest at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.

              Serve and Enjoy: Indulge in these delightful frozen yogurt coins immediately as a refreshing treat or store them in a zip-lock bag or airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months for future enjoyment.
