Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Icelandic Provisions Oat Milk Skyr or any thick plant-based yogurt
  • 1½ cup roasted pistachios
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping

  • roasted pistachios crushed or chopped

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor until creamy. 
  • Transfer to a loaf pan or glass tupperware container. Sprinkle crushed pistachios down the middle, then cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 5 hours, or overnight. 
  • Remove from the freezer, and allow to thaw in the fridge for 30 minutes, or microwave in 20 second intervals to soften. Enjoy immediately with more pistachios and maple syrup drizzled over top, as desired. 

Notes

  • Look for vegan yogurt labeled as "Greek-style" or "skyr" to get the right texture. Coconut yogurt also tends to be thicker than other alternatives.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste, especially if your yogurt is already sweet.
  • In place of maple syrup, you can use date syrup or agave.
  • Get creative with the toppings! I like to add extra pistachios and maple syrup, but you can also add fresh berries, chocolate sauce, and more.
