Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

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

1/2 cup sliced almonds

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

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Optional: Dark chocolate shavings or drizzle for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Figs: Begin by thoroughly washing the fresh figs. Remove the stems and chop them into small pieces. For a smoother texture, you may opt to pulse them in a food processor briefly. Set the prepared figs aside.

    Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt, your choice of honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture vigorously until all the ingredients are well blended and creamy.

      Mix in Figs and Almonds: Carefully fold the chopped figs and sliced almonds into the yogurt mixture with a spatula, making sure that the fruits and nuts are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.

        Mold the Discs: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a cookie scoop or a large spoon, portion out rounded tablespoons of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper. Flatten each portion slightly to create uniform discs. You can adjust the size of the discs according to your preference.

          Freeze: Place the prepared baking sheet in the freezer and allow the discs to freeze for about 4 to 6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Serve or Store: Once the discs are frozen, you can enjoy them immediately as a delightful frozen treat, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for future enjoyment. If you're using dark chocolate shavings or drizzle, add those just before serving for an extra touch of indulgence.

              Enjoy: When you're ready to treat yourself, let the discs sit at room temperature for about a minute to soften slightly before taking a bite of your creamy, fruity delicacy!
