Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)

1/2 cup unsalted pistachios, coarsely chopped

1 cup medjool dates, pitted and finely chopped

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

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, your choice of honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a whisk or spatula to mix the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any lumps.

    Incorporate the Mix-Ins: Carefully fold in the coarsely chopped pistachios and finely chopped medjool dates into the yogurt mixture. Make sure the nuts and dates are evenly distributed throughout, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.

      Form the Delightful Clusters: Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop dollops of the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Aim to make 12-16 clusters, adjusting the size to your preference.

        Add a Coconut Coating (Optional): If you enjoy a bit of coconut flavor and added texture, roll each cluster in shredded coconut before placing them back on the parchment paper. This step is optional but adds a delightful twist!

          Freeze to Perfection: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for at least 4 hours or until they are completely solid.

            Store and Enjoy: Once frozen, you can transfer the clusters into an airtight container for long-term storage, where they will keep for up to one month. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply remove the desired number of clusters from the freezer and savor this delicious snack!
