These Pistachio Frozen Yogurt Bites are creamy, lightly sweet, and full of nutty pistachio flavor. I like how the smooth yogurt base pairs with the silky white chocolate topping for an easy frozen snack or dessert.
Ingredients
(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
⅓ cup dry roasted salted pistachios
3 to 4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 scoop vanilla protein powder, optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
¼ cup canned full-fat coconut milk
Directions
I add the yogurt, pistachios, honey or maple syrup, protein powder if using, vanilla extract, and sea salt to a blender. I blend until the mixture is mostly smooth, leaving a few tiny pistachio pieces for texture.
I spoon the mixture into a silicone mold, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
For the topping, I heat the coconut milk until hot but not boiling. I pour it over the white chocolate chips and let it sit for 5 minutes, then I stir until smooth.
I spoon the white chocolate mixture over each yogurt bite, filling the remaining space in the mold.
I freeze the bites for 3 to 4 hours, or until fully set. I remove them from the mold and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. I let them sit for a few minutes before eating for the creamiest texture.

Variations
I like using coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version. I can also swap the white chocolate topping for dark chocolate if I want a richer flavor. For extra crunch, I sprinkle chopped pistachios over the topping before freezing.
Storage/Reheating
I store these frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer. They keep well for about 2 to 3 weeks. I do not reheat them, but I let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating so the texture becomes creamy.
FAQs
Can I make these without protein powder?
Yes, I can leave out the protein powder. The bites will still be creamy and flavorful.
Can I use regular yogurt?
Yes, I can use regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt gives a thicker and creamier texture.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes, I use coconut yogurt and dairy-free white chocolate chips for a dairy-free version.
Do I need a silicone mold?
I prefer a silicone mold because the bites release easily, but I can also use a lined mini muffin tin.
How long do the bites need to freeze?
I freeze them for 3 to 4 hours, or until they are fully firm.
Conclusion
These Pistachio Frozen Yogurt Bites are an easy frozen treat I like keeping on hand for snacks or dessert. They are creamy, nutty, lightly sweet, and simple to customize with different yogurts, toppings, or chocolate choices.
