Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to your preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup roasted hazelnuts, finely chopped (optional)

Silicone muffin molds or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Instructions
 

Prepare the Coffee Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled brewed coffee, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set this mixture aside.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a separate bowl, take the plain Greek yogurt and stir it gently to loosen its texture. Aim for a creamy, smooth consistency that will blend easily with the coffee mixture.

      Create the Mocha Swirl: Pour half of the yogurt into the coffee mixture. Stir well until fully combined to make a luscious mocha yogurt blend. Reserve the remaining plain yogurt in the bowl.

        Layer the Mixtures: In your prepared silicone muffin molds or on the lined baking sheet, start by adding a spoonful of the plain yogurt into each mold. Follow it with a spoonful of the mocha yogurt mixture. Using a toothpick or a small knife, gently swirl the two mixtures together to create a marbled effect, being careful not to over-mix; keeping the swirls distinct adds to the presentation.

          Add the Crunch Factor: Before freezing, sprinkle mini chocolate chips and finely chopped hazelnuts on top of each round. This step will incorporate a delightful crunch into every bite, enhancing the overall texture.

            Freeze: Carefully place the molds or the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the rounds are completely firm and solid.

              Serve: When ready to serve, dip the bottom of the silicone molds briefly in warm water to help release the frozen rounds. Serve immediately for a refreshing and decadent treat!

                  - Presentation Tips: For added flair, serve the frozen rounds in a whimsical bowl and garnish with a few extra chocolate chips or hazelnuts on top. A sprig of mint can also add a refreshing touch!
