Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey (or agave syrup)

Zest of 2 lemons

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 cup slivered almonds (toasted)

Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (dairy-free for a vegan option)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and honey. Stir until evenly blended.

    Add Flavors: Incorporate the lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract into the yogurt mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

      Introduce Almonds: Gently fold in the toasted slivered almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. If you’re using mini chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.

        Scoop and Shape: Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop bite-sized portions of the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Ensure they are evenly spaced, as they will expand slightly while freezing.

          Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt drops are completely frozen.

            Serve: Once frozen, remove the drops from the baking sheet and place them in a freezer-safe container for later enjoyment, or serve immediately. Enjoy as a refreshing snack or dessert on a hot day!
