Ingredients
  

2 large navel oranges

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite flavored yogurt)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate or white chocolate (for drizzling, optional)

Toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oranges:

    - Rinse the oranges under cold water. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the oranges into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Remove any seeds if necessary.

      Make the Yogurt Mixture:

        - In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until smooth and well blended.

          Dip the Orange Slices:

            - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take each orange slice and dip one side into the yogurt mixture, fully coating it. Gently shake off any excess yogurt and place the slices on the prepared baking sheet.

              Freeze the Slices:

                - Once all slices are dipped, place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until the yogurt has fully set and resembles a frozen coating.

                  Add Chocolate Drizzle (Optional):

                    - If desired, melt the dark or white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth. Use a fork or a piping bag to drizzle the melted chocolate over the frozen yogurt dipped orange slices.

                      Garnish:

                        - Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts for an extra layer of texture and flavor.

                          Serve and Enjoy:

                            - Once the chocolate has set, remove the orange slices from the freezer. Serve immediately for a refreshing treat or store in an airtight container back in the freezer for up to one week.
