Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup roasted pistachios, roughly chopped

½ cup dark chocolate chips (or your favorite chocolate)

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: additional chopped pistachios, dark chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of honey

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chocolate Yogurt Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Adjust sweetness as needed.

    Incorporate Pistachios: Gently fold in the chopped pistachios into the chocolate yogurt mixture, ensuring even distribution for a delightful crunch in every bite.

      Melt the Chocolate (Optional): If you’re adding a chocolate layer, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.

        Assemble the Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or silicone cupcake molds for easy removal. Spoon the chocolate yogurt mixture into each cup, filling them about three-quarters full. If using, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each cup.

          Freeze: Carefully place the muffin tin in the freezer and allow the yogurt cups to freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until completely set.

            Serve: Once frozen, remove the cups from the muffin tin and peel away the liners. You can enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

              Optional Toppings: Before serving, you can sprinkle additional chopped pistachios, dark chocolate shavings, or a light drizzle of honey on top for an extra touch.
