Pistachio frozen yoghurt cup is a healthy frozen dessert that still feels indulgent. These are a treat for the eyes as well as the taste buds and are made with only three ingredients. There’s Greek yoghurt, crunchy pistachios and a natural sweetener, mixed and frozen into convenient individual portions. You get a protein-rich, probiotic-packed dessert that's far healthier than traditional ice cream but equally satisfying. What makes this recipe especially appealing is its versatility – you can enjoy these yoghurt cups plain for a guilt-free snack, or elevate them by dipping them in melted chocolate and sprinkling extra pistachios for a more luxurious treat.

Step 4: Freeze
Place the tray in the freezer. Freeze for 3-4 hours or until completely firm. For best results, freeze overnight. The cups should be solid enough to pop out of the moulds easily.

Step 5: Optional chocolate coating
If adding a chocolate coating, melt the chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Remove frozen yoghurt cups from moulds by gently pushing from the bottom. Dip each cup halfway into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Immediately sprinkle with chopped pistachios before the chocolate sets.

Step 6: Final freeze
If you added a chocolate coating, return the cups to the freezer on a parchment-lined tray for 30 minutes to set the chocolate completely. Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers.
