Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup finely grated carrots (approximately 2 medium-sized carrots)

1/2 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (your choice of sweetener)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for added crunch)

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, raisins, or additional chopped nuts

Instructions
 

Prepare the Carrots: Start by finely grating the carrots using a box grater or a food processor. Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture to prevent the mixture from becoming too watery.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, grated carrots, drained crushed pineapple, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and well-combined mixture.

      Incorporate Spices: Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger powder, and a pinch of salt to the yogurt mixture. Gently fold these spices into the mixture until evenly distributed. If you’re using nuts, fold them in at this point for an extra crunch.

        Portion the Mixture: Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. With a cookie scoop or tablespoons, portion out the yogurt mixture onto the lined baking sheet, creating small disks (approximately 2 inches in diameter). Each scoop should amount to about 1.5 tablespoons.

          Freeze the Coins: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the yogurt coins to freeze for at least 4 hours or until they are completely solid.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, carefully remove the coins from the parchment paper and arrange them on a serving platter. For an extra touch, drizzle some additional honey over the coins and sprinkle your choice of toppings like shredded coconut, raisins, or extra nuts.

              Storage Tips: Store any leftover frozen coins in an airtight container in the freezer where they will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a delicious and refreshing treat!
