Pistachio Frozen Yogurt Bites
If you love a sweet treat that still feels good, these Pistachio Frozen Yogurt Bites are for you. They’re ultra-creamy, filled with nutty pistachio flavor, and topped with a silky layer of white chocolate for the perfect healthier frozen snack. Easy to make and lower in sugar, they’re great for kids, toddlers, and adults alike — made with Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt and naturally gluten-free and refined sugar-free.
Ingredients
Yogurt Bites
- 1 cup greek yogurt or coconut yogurt *see notes
- 1/3 cup dry roasted & salted Pistachios
- 3-4 tbsp honey or maple syrup *can add more to taste
- 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder (i used vanilla) *totally optional! Omit if you don't love your protein powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
Chocolate ganache coating
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
Instructions
- In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth. It's okay if there's some small pistachio chunks (the best crunch!) but you want most of them to be blended up. You can taste the mixture & adjust as you'd like (more vanilla, sweetener, etc).
- Divide the yogurt mixture amongst your mold, filling each crevice about 2/3 way full.
Chocolate topping
- There are two options - simply melt chocolate and top the bites for a harder shell or make a 2 ingredient quick chocolate ganache for a fudgier texture.
- For the shell, add the coconut oil and chocolate to a small bowl. You can melt the chocolate using the double-boiler method or in the microwave. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well between each, until completely smooth.For the chocolate ganache, heat the full-fat canned coconut milk until hot, but not boiling. Pour over your chocolate chips (don't stir yet!). Place a plate over the bowl and let it sit for 5 minute. Then mix.
- Add a little chocolate to the top of each bite, filling that last 1/3 of each crevice
- Freeze! You'll want to freeze the bites for 3-4 hours before removing them from the molds. Store in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to two months. Let the bites thaw a few minutes before enjoying for the creamiest texture.

Notes
Use a THICK yogurt that you love. The taste of the yogurt will obviously alter the taste of this recipe! Full-fat content yogurt will create the creamiest bites.
I like CocoJune or Culina for coconut yogurt!
**You can use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option. You can also use peanut butter but keep in mind they’ll taste like peanut butter as it’s not as neutral as the other butters – still delicious though!
