Ingredients
  

2 cups unsweetened Greek yogurt

½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup chopped hazelnuts, lightly toasted

¼ cup dark chocolate chips

2 tablespoons hazelnut spread (optional, for an indulgent drizzle)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mold: Start by lining an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring that you leave some overhang on the sides. This makes it easier to lift out the frozen yogurt squares later.

    Combine Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cooled coffee, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Using a whisk or spatula, mix vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Incorporate Crunch Elements: Carefully fold in the chopped toasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture for a delightful crunch in every bite.

        Fill the Mold: Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, smoothing the top for a nice finish.

          Freeze the Mixture: Cover the baking pan securely with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until it is completely firm to the touch.

            Slice & Serve: Once fully frozen, carefully lift the yogurt block out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice it into squares of your desired size. For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle hazelnut spread over the squares.

              Enjoy: Serve the squares immediately for a delightful dessert or snack, or store the squares in an airtight container in the freezer, where they can last for up to two weeks.
