Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla for best flavor)

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup almond butter

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

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped almonds (toast for enhanced flavor)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a spatula or whisk to mix until the texture is smooth and well blended. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or syrup if desired.

    Add Texture: Carefully fold the chopped, toasted almonds into the yogurt mixture. This step will introduce a satisfying crunch that complements the creamy base.

      Transfer to a Dish: Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring to leave an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Pour the yogurt mixture into the lined pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.

        Chocolate Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth. Once melted, drizzle the chocolate over the yogurt mixture. For a decorative touch, use a spatula to swirl the chocolate gently into the yogurt, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

          Freeze: Carefully place the pan in the freezer, allowing it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.

            Cut and Serve: Once fully frozen, lift out the frozen mixture from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. On a cutting board, slice into squares or bars of your desired size.

              Store: Place the yogurt squares into an airtight container and store in the freezer. These delightful treats remain perfect for a quick and refreshing sweet snack whenever cravings hit!

                  Presentation Tips: Serve squares atop a bed of shredded coconut, with a drizzle of melted chocolate on top for that extra visual appeal. Consider garnishing with a whole almond or a sprinkle of sea salt for a gourmet touch.
