Ingredients
  

2 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt (for optimal creaminess)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (plus additional for topping)

1/4 cup crushed nuts (such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans)

A pinch of sea salt

Silicone muffin cups (for molding)

Instructions
 

Make the Base Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the full-fat Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, unsweetened cocoa powder, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a whisk or spatula to thoroughly mix until smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness to your liking.

    Melt the Dark Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until completely smooth and melted. Be cautious not to overheat, as this can cause the chocolate to seize.

      Blend Chocolate with Yogurt: Once the dark chocolate is melted, take half of it and gently fold it into the yogurt mixture until evenly incorporated. Reserve the remaining half of melted chocolate for drizzling later.

        Fill the Muffin Cups: Carefully spoon the yogurt and chocolate mixture into the silicone muffin cups, filling each cup to about 2/3 full. Tap the filled molds lightly on the countertop to release any trapped air bubbles and create a smooth surface on top.

          Add Nutty Toppings: Sprinkle a generous amount of crushed nuts and a few extra chocolate chips on top of each yogurt cup, enhancing both texture and flavor.

            Drizzle with Reserved Chocolate: Using the reserved melted chocolate, drizzle it over the tops of the filled cups for an elegant finishing touch. You can use a spoon for a rustic look or a piping bag for more precision.

              Freeze the Cups: Transfer the filled silicone muffin cups to the freezer and allow them to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, gently pop the cups out of the silicone molds. Let them sit at room temperature for about 2-3 minutes to soften slightly before enjoying your delicious frozen treat.
