How to Make Frozen Mediterranean Delite

  1. Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and place 2 cups of fat-free plain yogurt in it. Let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or up to 4 for a firmer texture).
  2. Combine ½ cup shelled pistachios and ¼ cup granulated sugar in a food processor or coffee grinder. Grind until a fine powder forms.
  3. Roughly chop the remaining ½ cup shelled pistachios.
  4. In a medium bowl, gently combine the drained yogurt, powdered pistachios, chopped pistachios, ½ cup pitted dates (chopped), and 1 tablespoon ouzo. Mix until well combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 1 hour.
  6. Remove from the freezer and stir well to break up any ice crystals.
  7. Return to the freezer and freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until completely firm.
  8. Divide the frozen dessert into four portions. Garnish each serving with 1 teaspoon of bittersweet chocolate shavings before serving.
