Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup unsalted pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped

1/2 cup Medjool dates, pitted and chopped

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Dark chocolate chips, for drizzling (optional)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, place the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Using a spatula or whisk, blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.

    Incorporate the Add-ins: Gently fold in the chopped pistachios and dates into the yogurt mixture. Make sure the nuts and fruit are evenly distributed to ensure each cluster has a balanced flavor.

      Form the Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming clusters. Aim for about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture per cluster, yielding approximately 12-16 clusters.

        Drizzle with Chocolate (optional): If using, melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each cluster for an extra layer of flavor and a beautiful finish.

          Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze for at least 4 hours or until they are completely solid.

            Serve: Once frozen, remove the clusters from the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for about a minute to soften slightly for easier removal. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of color and flavor, then serve immediately.

              Store Leftovers: To keep any leftovers, place the frozen clusters in an airtight container, adding parchment paper in between layers to prevent them from sticking together. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, maintaining their delightful flavor and texture.
