Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose either full-fat or low-fat)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped (set aside a few for topping)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (opt for dairy-free if preferred)

2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for glossy chocolate)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a whisk to combine these ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no visible lumps of cocoa powder.

    Fold in the Pistachios: Carefully add the chopped pistachios to the yogurt mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold them in, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.

      Create the Base Layer: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or silicone molds to easily remove the cups later. Spoon the yogurt mixture into each liner, filling them about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops with a spatula for an even finish.

        Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Be cautious not to overheat the chocolate.

          Drizzle with Chocolate: Using a spoon or a small piping bag for precision, drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the yogurt cups, creating a decorative swirl. Sprinkle a few reserved pistachio pieces on top for an appealing crunch and garnish.

            Freeze the Cups: Carefully place the muffin tin in the freezer and allow the yogurt cups to set for at least 4 hours, or until solid throughout.

              Serve & Enjoy: Once they are fully frozen, gently peel away the cupcake liners to reveal the delightful cups. Enjoy your Frozen Chocolate Pistachio Yogurt Cups as a refreshing treat! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for future enjoyment.
