Equipment

Blender or food processor
Silicone muffin tray or paper cups

Ingredients

¾ cup full fat Greek yogurt
1 ½ cups shelled pistachios unsalted
¼ cup honey or maple syrup to taste
Pinch of salt optional
Extra chopped pistachios for topping

Instructions

Blend: Add Greek yogurt, pistachios, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

When I filmed this recipe, my blender was in use! So I used a glass jar and my immersion blender to blend. Either works, go for what's easiest for you.

Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed. Pistachios vary in intensity so this step matters.
Fill the Molds: Spoon or pour the mixture evenly into silicone muffin molds or small cups.
Top: Sprinkle chopped pistachios generously over the tops before freezing.
Freeze: Freeze for 3 to 4 hours until just set and easy to bite into.
Serve: Pop out of the molds and eat immediately. If frozen for longer than 4 hours, transfer to the fridge for about an hour before serving to soften slightly.

Notes

Blend for a full 90 seconds to two minutes for the smoothest result.
Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt. Non-fat versions have too much water content.
Keeps in the freezer for up to two weeks. Press plastic wrap directly against the surface.
Chocolate-dipped variation: dip fully frozen cups in 1 cup melted dark chocolate, top with chopped pistachios, refrigerate 1 hour before serving (see notes in Chocolate Dipped section of this page)
