Ingredients
  

2 cups unsweetened Greek yogurt

½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

¼ cup cocoa powder

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup chopped hazelnuts

¼ cup dark chocolate chips

2 tablespoons hazelnut spread (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mold: Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

    Mix Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cooled coffee, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a whisk or spatula to mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the texture is smooth.

      Add Crunch: Gently fold in the chopped hazelnuts and dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.

        Pour into Mold: Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

          Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4–6 hours or until fully set.

            Slice & Serve: Once frozen, lift the yogurt block out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into squares. If desired, drizzle hazelnut spread over the squares for an extra touch of decadence.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately or store the squares in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
