Dark Chocolate, Orange & Pistachio Greek Yogurt Cups for #BreakfastforDinner #SundaySupper

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

It’s #SundaySupper time, and we are keeping things fun and simple with Breakfast for Dinner. Though I think these Dark Chocolate, Orange & Pistachio Greek Yogurt Cups are perfect for breakfast, dinner, lunch, snack, and even an elegant dessert.

I like to think I am somewhat original and creative. Being a food blogger sort of dashes all of these thoughts. You’ll be drifting off to sleep, when suddenly an amazing recipe idea pops into your head. So the next morning, you’ll Google it, and BAM – 10,000 hits for some slight variation on the unique, one of a kind, gastronomic awesomeness that you thought only existed in your subconscious. Yeah, that pretty much happened here.

Back in my gestational diabetes days, I was desperate for nighttime snacks or desserts that wouldn’t blow my carb limit. I found more uses for Greek yogurt than you can imagine, because the protein helped balance the carbs, especially when using plain, and I controlled the sugar content myself. One night I threw this Dark Chocolate, Orange & Pistachio Greek Yogurt Cup and posted a photo on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I thought I was soooo original. Yeah, until multiple people told me that it was a menu item at the Chobani shop in Soho, NYC. DOH!

Oh well, I’m sharing it with you anyway, since I figure most of you don’t frequent downtown Manhattan. I could have just posted the recipe, and you would think I were a culinary genius and would be none the wiser. Darn my honesty!

Anyway – creamy, juicy, sweet, tart, crunchy…  and a pretty color combination. What’s not to love? Well, unless you are one of those who don’t like citrus with chocolate. It’s cool, I understand, since I didn’t until recently. But the best part about this is that you can tweak it to your tastes. I liked the tang of the plain yogurt, but if you want it sweeter, use vanilla or honey. For me, the darker the chocolate, the better, but go ahead and use what you have or love. Or just sprinkle on some chips. Heck, change out the fruit or nuts. That makes it a completely different dish, but whatever. Hello raspberries and dark chocolate with almonds. Or pineapple and white chocolate with macadamias. Yum! You get the picture.

I actually haven’t made this in awhile, but I am remembering how good it is, so I have to make it again! Give it a try, even if it is not really my own completely original creation.
