Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped

1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (choose dark or milk based on your preference)

1/2 cup granola (for that delightful crunch)

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, dried fruit bits, or extra chocolate drizzle for added flair

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or spatula to mix until the ingredients are smooth and well combined. Taste the mixture, and if you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add more honey or syrup.

    Incorporate the Crunchy Elements: Stir in the finely chopped pistachios, mini chocolate chips, and granola into the yogurt mix. Gently fold these ingredients in until they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt. Sprinkle in a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

      Shape the Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion out the yogurt mixture, shaping it into flat discs about 1/2 inch thick. Aim to make approximately 12-15 discs, depending on your desired size.

        Freeze the Coins: Carefully place the baking sheet with the formed yogurt discs in the freezer. Allow them to freeze solid for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely firm to the touch.

          Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, gently peel the yogurt coins off the parchment paper. You can serve them immediately for a cool treat, or store them in a zip-lock bag or an airtight container in the freezer for a convenient, healthful snack anytime!

            Optional Customization: For an extra special touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the coins or sprinkle on additional toppings such as shredded coconut or bits of dried fruit just before serving.
