main ingredients
Pistachio Butter – The recipe calls for half a cup of pistachio butter or pistachio cream. I like to save money by making my own one-ingredient pistachio butter at home, but a store-bought jar also works.
Milk of choice – Almost any milk will do, but some give creamier results than others. As a vegetarian, I love oat milk, coconut milk, and low-calorie almond milk.
Want more protein? Replace up to half of the milk with your favorite high-protein yogurt.
Sweetener – This can be radioactive white sugar, unrefined sugar, pure maple syrup, or honey. For sugar-free pistachio popsicles, try allulose, monk fruit, or xylitol.
Vanilla Extract – We use pure vanilla extract, not imitation vanilla flavoring. I also often like to mix in about half a teaspoon of cardamom powder.
salt – A fourth teaspoon of salt adds depth of flavor to the recipe and balances the sweetness. It is recommended not to add salt. Adding salt makes it taste much better. However, if you want to scale it down and see what you think, it won’t affect the texture.

First, melt the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate bar) in the microwave or double boiler.

Dip the popsicles into the chocolate, then immediately add crushed pistachios before the sauce dries into a hard chocolate shell. This will help the nuts adhere better.
