Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup dried figs, finely chopped

1/2 cup slivered almonds

Zest of 1 lemon

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Optional: Fresh figs, sliced, and fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), pure vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Use a whisk or spatula to mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Prepare the Figs: Finely chop the dried figs into small, even pieces. This will ensure they distribute evenly throughout the yogurt base, providing bites of flavor in each slice.

      Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the chopped figs and slivered almonds into the yogurt mixture. Use a spatula to carefully incorporate them, making sure the added ingredients are evenly distributed without overmixing.

        Season: Sprinkle the sea salt over the mixture to enhance the flavors. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the salt is evenly dispersed throughout the yogurt.

          Line the Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking dish (or a similar-sized container) with parchment paper. Make sure to leave an overhang on the sides; this will help you lift the frozen yogurt out later with ease.

            Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, smoothing the top.

              Freeze: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, then place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt is completely firm to the touch.

                Slice and Serve: Once the frozen yogurt is firm, use the parchment overhang to lift it out of the baking dish. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice it into squares or rectangles.

                  Garnish (Optional): Just before serving, top each slice with fresh fig slices and sprinkle with mint leaves for a vibrant and refreshing presentation.

                    Enjoy: Serve these delightful frozen yogurt slices as a nutritious dessert or a light snack that everyone will adore!
