Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional, for extra texture)

2 cups rolled cinnamon roll dough (you can use store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for drizzling)

2 tablespoons milk (adjustable for drizzle consistency)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Base:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

      Add Optional Mix-Ins:

        - If you choose to add texture, gently fold the mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the yogurt mixture, distributing them evenly.

          Make Cinnamon Rolls:

            - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cinnamon roll dough. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into squares or strips, each approximately 1 inch wide.

              Combine and Shape:

                - Take one piece of the cut dough and place a generous dollop of the yogurt mixture in the center. Carefully fold the edges of the dough around the yogurt to form a little cluster. Repeat this process with the remaining pieces of dough and yogurt mixture until all are shaped.

                  Arrange in Freezer Container:

                    - Line a freezer-safe container with parchment paper or use a tray. Place the cinnamon roll clusters in a single layer inside, making sure to leave some space between them to allow for expansion during freezing.

                      Freeze:

                        - Cover the container tightly with a lid or aluminum foil, then place it in the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until they are frozen solid.

                          Prepare the Drizzle:

                            - While the clusters are freezing, make the drizzle. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk. Stir until you achieve a smooth, thick consistency. Add more milk or sugar as needed to reach your preferred thickness.

                              Serve:

                                - Once the yogurt clusters are frozen, remove them from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to softens slightly. Drizzle the sweet glaze over the clusters right before serving for an added touch of sweetness.

                                  Prep Time, Total Time, Servings: 15 minutes | 6 hours (includes freezing time) | Makes about 12 clusters

                                    - Presentation Tips: You can serve the clusters on a decorative platter, garnishing with a light dusting of cocoa powder or an extra sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance appearance. Consider pairing with fresh berries for added color and flavor. Enjoy your frosty treats!
