Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla for a hint of sweetness)

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup almonds, finely chopped (for added crunch and flavor)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for extra chocolatey goodness)

1/4 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled to room temperature

A pinch of salt (to enhance flavors)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the unsweetened cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cooled brewed espresso, and a pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth and all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

    Gently fold in the finely chopped almonds and mini chocolate chips. Use a spatula to ensure that the nuts and chocolate are evenly dispersed throughout the yogurt mixture without deflating it.

      Prepare a baking tray or a flat dish by lining it with parchment paper. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the yogurt mixture and drop it onto the prepared tray, forming round disks roughly 1-inch apart. Aim for equal sizes for even freezing.

        Once you've formed all the rounds, transfer the tray to the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4 hours or until the yogurt rounds are solid and firm to the touch.

          After freezing, carefully lift the rounds off the tray and place them in an airtight container. To prevent the rounds from sticking together, layer them with parchment paper between each round.

            Store the yogurt rounds in the freezer, where they can last up to 2 weeks. When ready to enjoy, serve them immediately after removing from the freezer for a refreshing treat!
