Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla for sweetness)

1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup crushed hazelnuts (lightly toasted for enhanced flavor)

A pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, extra crushed hazelnuts, or fresh berries

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, chocolate hazelnut spread, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Using a whisk or spatula, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

    Add Texture: Gently fold in the toasted crushed hazelnuts using a spatula. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture for a delightful crunch in every bite.

      Spoon into Molds: With a tablespoon or piping bag, carefully spoon the chocolate hazelnut yogurt mixture into silicone muffin molds or cupcake liners. Fill each mold approximately three-quarters full, leaving room for the mixture to expand as it freezes.

        Smooth the Tops: Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, smooth out the tops of the yogurt cups to create an even, flat surface. This will make them look more appealing when served.

          Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow the yogurt cups to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely firm.

            Remove from Molds: Once fully frozen, remove the yogurt cups from the molds by gently pressing from the bottom. If they are sticking, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds to help release them more easily.

              Serve & Enjoy: Serve the frozen yogurt cups immediately as a refreshing treat, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Before serving, feel free to garnish with mini chocolate chips, additional crushed hazelnuts, or a handful of fresh berries for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.
