Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (sweeten to your preference)

Zest of 1 large lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: Additional shredded coconut for rolling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Using a whisk or spatula, mix the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring that all components are well blended.

    Scoop and Shape: Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, take portions of the yogurt mixture and roll them gently in your hands to form small balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter. Place each round carefully on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to avoid sticking.

      Freeze: Once all the yogurt rounds are shaped, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the rounds to freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until they are completely solid and firm to the touch.

        Final Touch: If you desire an extra layer of coconut flavor and a delightful texture, roll each frozen round in additional shredded coconut right before serving.

          Serve: Transfer the frozen yogurt lemon coconut rounds to a serving plate. You can enjoy them directly from the freezer for a refreshing treat, or let them sit at room temperature for about 2-3 minutes to achieve a creamier consistency.

            Store: Any leftover rounds can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer, where they will remain fresh for up to 2 weeks.
