Ingredients
  

1 cup raw almonds

1 cup Medjool dates, pitted

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

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

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a food processor, combine the raw almonds and Medjool dates. Pulse until the mixture forms a sticky, crumbly texture. It might take a few minutes, so be patient!

    Line Your Pan: Take an 8x8 inch (or similar size) square baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

      Form the Square Base: Transfer the almond-date mixture into the lined pan. Press it down firmly and evenly to create a solid base. Use the back of a measuring cup or your hands to achieve a compact, even layer.

        Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and creamy.

          Spread the Yogurt Layer: Pour the yogurt mixture over the almond-date crust. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly across the entire base.

            Frost and Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

              Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If you want to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring in 30-second intervals until smooth. Once the yogurt squares are firm, remove them from the freezer, lift them out of the dish using the parchment overhang, and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top.

                Slice and Serve: Cut into squares (you can make them as large or small as you like) and serve immediately or return to the freezer until ready to serve. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
