1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

For the Yogurt Layer:

2 cups Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

1/4 cup honey or agave syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/4 cup crushed almonds (or almond slivers)

For the Topping:

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and sea salt.

      - Stir until the mixture is well-combined and has a crumbly texture.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8 inch square baking dish to create even base. Set aside.

          Make the Yogurt Layer:

            - In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.

              - Gently fold in the shredded coconut and crushed almonds until evenly distributed.

                - Pour the yogurt mixture over the prepared base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth out the top.

                  Freeze:

                    - Place the dish in the freezer and let it set for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.

                      Prepare the Topping:

                        - In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth.

                          - Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

                            Assemble the Squares:

                              - Once the yogurt layer is frozen, take it out of the freezer and cut it into squares.

                                - Drizzle the melted chocolate over each square and sprinkle with extra shredded coconut and crushed almonds for garnish.

                                  Final Freeze:

                                    - Return the squares to the freezer for another 30-60 minutes to allow the topping to set.

                                      Serve:

                                        - Cut into individual squares and serve immediately from the freezer. Enjoy the creamy coconut-almond goodness!
