Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup crushed hazelnuts (for topping)

A pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the plain Greek yogurt, chocolate hazelnut spread, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to mix thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined, creating a luxurious chocolate-hazelnut yogurt base.

    Add a Dash of Salt: Sprinkle in a pinch of sea salt and mix it in carefully. This small addition will enhance the overall flavors, balancing the sweetness with a touch of savory.

      Form the Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a round cookie cutter or a tablespoon, portion out the yogurt mixture and drop it onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for coins that are about 1/2 inch thick, leaving some space between each for easy handling later.

        Freeze the Coins: Once all the coins are formed, place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the coins to freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm and solid.

          Prepare the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips. Melt them in the microwave by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring well in between each round, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.

            Dip the Coins: Take the frozen yogurt coins out of the freezer. One by one, dip each coin into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. After dipping, use a fork to lift the coin out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

              Top with Hazelnuts: While the chocolate coating is still wet, immediately sprinkle crushed hazelnuts on top of each coin. This will add delightful texture and a nutty flavor that complements the chocolate hazelnut spread.

                Final Freeze: Carefully place the dipped coins back onto the parchment paper and return them to the freezer. Allow them to freeze for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely set and hardened.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, your Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Hazelnut Coins are ready to delight your taste buds! Serve them as a cool, refreshing dessert or snack that everyone will love.
