Ingredients
  

2 cups plain coconut yogurt (unsweetened)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 cup almond slices (or coarsely chopped almonds)

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain coconut yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), pure vanilla extract, and fine sea salt. Using a whisk, mix thoroughly until the ingredients are smooth and fully blended together.

    Incorporate Almonds and Coconut: Carefully fold the almond slices and unsweetened shredded coconut into the yogurt mixture using a spatula. Make sure the almonds and coconut are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.

      Mold the Disks: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each mound with the back of the scoop or a spatula, shaping them into disks that are approximately 1/2 inch thick.

        Freeze the Disks: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the disks freeze for about 2-3 hours or until they are completely solid.

          Chocolate Drizzle (Optional): If you wish to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Once the disks are frozen, take them out of the freezer and drizzle the melted chocolate over each disk using a fork or spoon for a decorative touch.

            Final Freeze: Place the disks back in the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set properly.

              Serve and Enjoy: When the disks are ready, gently peel them off the parchment paper and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them fresh.

                  - Presentation Tips: Arrange the almond disks on a decorative platter and garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut or a few whole almonds for added flair. Enjoy this refreshing dessert as a sweet pick-me-up or a delightful summer treat!
