Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup chopped almonds

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or melted dark chocolate for drizzling)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well-blended.

    Incorporate Coco and Coconut: Gently fold in the shredded coconut and a pinch of salt, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture. This will give your squares the signature Almond Joy flavor.

      Layering in the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch (or 9x9-inch) baking dish with parchment paper, letting the paper hang over the sides for easier removal later. Pour half of the yogurt mixture into the dish and spread it evenly across the bottom.

        Add the Almonds: Scatter the chopped almonds over the yogurt layer, pressing them gently to adhere. Pour the remaining yogurt mixture on top, smoothing it out evenly.

          Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If you’re using melted dark chocolate, drizzle it over the top layer of yogurt in a zigzag pattern for an extra decadent touch. If you're using chocolate chips, sprinkle them evenly across the top.

            Freeze: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

              Slice and Serve: Once fully frozen, lift the squares out of the baking dish using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.

                Enjoy: These delightful Frozen Yogurt Almond Joy Squares can be enjoyed straight from the freezer. Perfect for a nutritious dessert or a refreshing treat!
