Ingredients
  

1 cup grated carrots (packed tight)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option)

1/2 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or cacao nibs

Instructions
 

Prepare the Carrots: Start by grating fresh carrots using a box grater or food processor until you have a cup packed tightly. The finer the grate, the smoother the texture of your yogurt coins will be.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt), coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.

      Incorporate Carrots: Fold the grated carrots into the yogurt mixture gently, ensuring that the carrots are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.

        Mold the Coins: Line a baking sheet or a tray with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop to drop spoonfuls of the carrot yogurt mixture onto the sheet, forming small coins. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon to create even shapes.

          Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, sprinkle some shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or cacao nibs on top of each coin before freezing for added flavor and texture.

            Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the yogurt coins to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

              Serve: Once frozen, carefully peel the coins off the parchment paper and store them in a resealable bag or airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy them straight from the freezer as a healthy snack or dessert!
