Pistachio Yogurt Frozen Treat with Dark Chocolate and Dates

Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted pistachios, shelled
- 2 cups vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt works well)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1 cup pitted dates, chopped
- 1/4 cup agave syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 tspvanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pistachios:
- In a food processor, pulse the shelled pistachios until finely ground, but avoid turning them into a paste. Set aside a small handful for garnishing.

2. Mix the Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, ground pistachios, sea salt, agave syrup, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.

3. Incorporate Dates:

- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.

- Pour half of the melted dark chocolate into the yogurt mixture and gently fold it in to create swirls. Reserve the other half for drizzling later.

6. Freeze the Mixture:
- Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for about 4-6 hours, stirring every hour to break up ice crystals.

7. Serve:
- Once frozen and set to your liking, scoop the pistachio yogurt treat into bowls or cones.
- Drizzle the remaining melted dark chocolate over the top and sprinkle with the reserved chopped pistachios.

8. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing pistachio yogurt frozen treat!
