Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free option)

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

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lime

A pinch of salt

1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional, for a delicious outer coating)

Instructions
 

Puree the Mango: In a blender, combine the diced mangoes with 1 cup of Greek yogurt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This delightful blend will serve as your flavorful mango layer.

    Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), chia seeds, vanilla extract, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Whisk everything together until well blended. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes, letting the chia seeds absorb some moisture and thicken the yogurt.

      Layering the Mixtures: Using a silicone ice cube tray or a mini muffin tin, add a thin layer of the mango puree to the bottom of each mold. Aim to fill each compartment just about 1/3 full and then place the tray in the freezer. Freeze for approximately 30 minutes, or until the mango layer is slightly firm to the touch.

        Adding the Yogurt Layer: Once the mango layer has set, carefully spoon the yogurt mixture over the frozen mango layer, filling the molds almost to the top. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon to create an even finish.

          Final Freeze: Return the filled tray to the freezer and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, or until completely frozen solid.

            Serving the Rounds: To release the frozen rounds, gently twist the silicone tray or run it under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them. If you’re feeling adventurous, roll each round in shredded coconut for an added tropical flair.

              Enjoy Your Treat: Serve these creamy, frozen rounds immediately for a deliciously refreshing snack or dessert! You can also store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
