When creating your Coconut Bliss Almond Joy Frozen Yogurt Cups, the technique of folding in ingredients is crucial to maintain a light and fluffy texture. After blending your yogurt with coconut cream and almond extract, add in any additional ingredients like chopped almonds or shredded coconut. Use a spatula to gently scoop from the bottom of the bowl, lifting the mixture up and over itself. This method ensures that air is retained within the yogurt mixture, preventing it from becoming dense or overly mixed. Remember to fold just until the ingredients are incorporated; overmixing can lead to a less desirable texture.

Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or any preferred yogurt)

1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1/4 cup chopped almonds

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Pinch of sea salt

Silicone muffin cups or any small molds

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

    Add Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped almonds into the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.

      Prepare Molds: If using silicone muffin cups, place them on a flat tray for easy handling.

        Fill the Cups: Spoon the yogurt mixture into each cup, filling them about 3/4 full. Tap the tray gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and distribute the mixture evenly.

          Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.

            Top it Off: Drizzle a teaspoon of melted chocolate over each yogurt cup, ensuring it covers the top evenly. Sprinkle with a bit more shredded coconut and chopped almonds for decoration if desired.

              Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer and let the cups freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.

                Serve: Once frozen, to remove the yogurt cups from the molds, gently push from the bottom of the silicone cups or dip the bottom of the molds in warm water for a few seconds. Serve immediately!
