Ingredients
  

1 cup finely grated carrots (packed tightly)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (substitute with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option)

1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (for extra creaminess)

3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or cacao nibs

Instructions
 

Prepare the Carrots: Begin by grating fresh carrots using a box grater or a food processor until you achieve approximately one packed cup. For the best texture, grate the carrots finely.

    Combine the Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt), coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are well incorporated.

      Fold in the Carrots: Gently incorporate the grated carrots into the yogurt mixture. Use a spatula to fold them in until they are evenly mixed throughout the yogurt – this will ensure every bite contains that delicious carrot flavor.

        Shape the Coins: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper for easy removal. Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the carrot yogurt mixture onto the lined sheet, carefully forming small coins. Slightly flatten each coin with the back of the spoon to achieve even shapes.

          Add Optional Toppings: Before freezing, feel free to enhance the flavor and texture by sprinkling shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or cacao nibs on top of each yogurt coin.

            Freeze the Coins: Place the baking sheet into the freezer and allow the yogurt coins to freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid. This step is crucial for achieving a perfect frozen treat.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, carefully peel the coins off the parchment paper and transfer them to a resealable bag or an airtight container for storage in the freezer. These delightful frozen treats can be enjoyed straight from the freezer as a healthy snack or a refreshing dessert!
