Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup coconut cream (canned or carton)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Berry Swirl:

    - In a small mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Gently mash the berries with a fork or spoon, aiming for a chunky sauce consistency. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Create the Yogurt Base:

        - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, coconut cream, the remaining honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring that all ingredients are well incorporated.

          Layer the Mixture:

            - Line a loaf pan or square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some excess to extend over the edges for easy removal. Pour half of the yogurt mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

              Add the Berry Swirl:

                - Spoon dollops of the prepared berry mixture over the first layer of yogurt. Take a knife or skewer and gently swirl it into the yogurt to create a marbled effect, being careful not to fully blend the layers.

                  Top with Remaining Yogurt:

                    - Pour the remaining yogurt mixture over the berry swirl layer, smoothing it out again with your spatula. Drop spoonfuls of the berry sauce on top and gently swirl again for added marbling.

                      Sprinkle with Coconut:

                        - Evenly distribute the shredded coconut over the top of the yogurt mixture, adding a nice texture and flavor to the final product.

                          Freeze:

                            - Place the dish in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely set.

                              Serve:

                                - Once the mixture is fully frozen, use the parchment paper to lift the yogurt slab out of the pan. Carefully cut into slices or bars using a sharp knife, and serve immediately. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh berries or a drizzle of honey over the top.
