Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup canned coconut milk (for extra creaminess)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on desired sweetness)

Juice and zest of 2 large lemons

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a large mixing bowl or high-powered blender, combine the plain Greek yogurt, creamy coconut milk, your choice of honey or maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend everything together until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Taste the mixture, and adjust the sweetness according to your preference.

    Fold in Coconut: Once the base is blended, carefully fold in the shredded unsweetened coconut. Use a spatula to ensure the coconut is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture without deflating it.

      Prepare Coins: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. If you have a round cookie cutter (about 2-3 inches in diameter), gently press it into the mixture to create circles. Alternatively, you can take spoonfuls of the mixture and drop them onto the parchment in round shapes.

        Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer, allowing the yogurt coins to freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours or until they are completely firm.

          Serve: Once the yogurt coins are frozen solid, take them out of the freezer and gently peel them off the parchment paper. You can serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

            Garnish (Optional): For an added visual appeal and a bit more coconut flavor, sprinkle a handful of extra shredded coconut over the coins just before serving.
