Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh figs, chopped (about 10-12 figs)

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Optional: dark chocolate shavings or drizzle for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Figs: Start by washing the figs thoroughly. Remove the stems, then chop them into small pieces. You can blend them briefly in a food processor if desired for a smoother texture. Set aside.

    Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

      Mix in Figs and Almonds: Gently fold the chopped figs and sliced almonds into the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

        Mold the Discs: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the parchment, flattening them slightly to form discs. The size can be adjusted according to preference.

          Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 4-6 hours or until the discs are solid.

            Serve or Store: Once frozen, you can serve the discs immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment. If using chocolate shavings or drizzle, add them just before serving.

              Enjoy: When ready to eat, let the discs sit at room temperature for a minute to soften slightly before enjoying your creamy, fruity treat!
