Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup coconut yogurt (or your favorite plant-based yogurt)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey, if not vegan)

1/4 cup almond flour

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (opt for dairy-free if vegan)

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, cacao nibs, or dried fruit

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cookie Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, coconut yogurt, maple syrup, almond flour, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until all the ingredients are well blended and form a moist, sticky mixture.

    Shape the Cookies: With your hands or using a cookie scoop, take portions of the mixture and form them into small discs about 1/4 inch thick. Place the shaped discs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, gently flattening them to create an even texture across the surface.

      Chill the Discs: Once all the discs are formed, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow them to chill for at least 1 hour, or until they are firm to the touch.

        Melt the Chocolate: While the cookie discs chill, melt the dark chocolate chips. You can do this by placing them in a microwave-safe bowl and heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler for a gentler melting process. For an extra glossy finish, consider adding a small splash of coconut oil to the melted chocolate.

          Dip the Discs: Once the cookie discs have hardened in the freezer, remove them. Dip each disc into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Place them back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

            Add Toppings: Before the chocolate sets completely, sprinkle your choice of chopped nuts, cacao nibs, or dried fruit over the tops of the chocolate-coated discs for an extra burst of flavor and texture.

              Freeze Again: Place the baking sheet back in the freezer for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened and is set.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate coating is solid, your Frozen Coconut Yogurt Cookie Discs are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer, ensuring you always have a delightful frozen treat on hand.
