Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups shredded carrots (about 3 medium carrots)

1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Pinch of salt

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

    Mix in the Carrot Cake Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded carrots, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, chopped walnuts or pecans, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the carrot mixture into the yogurt base until just combined, being careful not to over-mix to maintain texture.

        Create the Cream Cheese Swirl: In another small bowl, beat the cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Add the powdered sugar and lemon juice, and mix until combined.

          Layering: In a freezer-safe container, spoon half of the carrot yogurt mixture, spreading it evenly. Then dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cream cheese into the carrot yogurt mixture, creating a marbled effect.

            Finish Layers: Spoon the remaining carrot yogurt mixture over the cream cheese swirl. Again, use a knife to create a final swirl for decoration.

              Freeze: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.

                Serve: To serve, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones, and enjoy your delicious Frozen Yogurt Carrot Cake Swirls! Garnish with additional walnuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
