Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (use plain or vanilla for added flavor)

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup almond butter (or your preferred nut butter)

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

1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

1 cup chopped raw almonds

Optional: Fresh fruit pieces (such as diced strawberries or bananas) for extra flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it achieves a creamy, uniform consistency and the sweetener is fully blended in.

      Add Coconut and Almonds:

        Gently fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut along with half of the chopped raw almonds. If you would like to add a fruity twist, now is the perfect time to incorporate any fresh fruit pieces, folding them in delicately to maintain their shape.

          Create the Bites:

            Prepare a silicone mold or an ice cube tray for easier removal. Using a spoon, fill each compartment of the molds with the yogurt mixture, filling them just to the top. Lightly tap the mold on the countertop to help release any trapped air bubbles.

              Top with Almonds:

                Evenly distribute the remaining chopped almonds over the surface of each filled mold, pressing them down gently into the yogurt mixture to ensure they adhere.

                  Freeze:

                    Transfer the filled molds to the freezer and allow the yogurt bites to freeze for a minimum of 4 to 6 hours, or until they are completely firm and solid throughout.

                      Release and Serve:

                        Once fully frozen, carefully pop the yogurt bites out of their molds. Serve them immediately for a refreshing treat or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.

                          Garnish (Optional):

                            For an indulgent touch, consider dipping each frozen bite into melted dark chocolate or drizzling it over the top. Return the bites to the freezer for a brief time to allow the chocolate to harden.

                              Prep Time, Total Time, Servings:

                                15 minutes | 6 hours | Approximately 24 bites (depending on mold size)

                                  Presentation Tips:

                                    Arrange the yogurt bites on a decorative plate, garnished with extra shredded coconut or fresh fruit for an inviting and visually appealing dessert display. Enjoy these delightful treats as a snack or a light dessert!
