Breaking the homemade Magic Shell might have been my favorite part.

So I knew what I had to do when I saw thisPumpkin Spice Magic Shell Yogurt Cup on Instagram.

Admittedly, I felt a bit skeptical about mixing yogurt and pumpkin together.

Needless to say, now that Ive tried it, Im convinced.

The combination of vanilla Greek yogurt, nut butter and pumpkin puree was simple but amazing.

Then, the bitter, salted chocolate shell brings everything together with some delicious crunch and richness.

After devouring the cup, I was left feeling full and satisfied.

Start with your favorite cup of vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt.

Mix in one tablespoon of canned pumpkin puree, one tablespoon of almond butter and 14 teaspoonpumpkin pie spice.

I like to useTwo Goods Vanilla Cup, as well as SunButter to avoid nut allergens for my partner.

I used another allergen-friendly ingredient: Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels.

Here, Monique suggests adding 12 teaspoon coconut oil if the melted chocolate is too thick to pour.

Pour the melted chocolate atop the yogurt mixture and begin adding toppings.

In the video, she adds chopped pecans, cinnamon and sea salt.

Freeze for 10 minutes or until the chocolate is solidified, and enjoy!

The thing I loved most about this recipe is the nostalgia and whimsicality of breaking into a hard shell.
