Description
Indulge in this creamy, rich, and surprisingly healthy Frozen Greek Chocolate Yogurt. It’s an easy-to-make dessert that satisfies your sweet tooth without the guilt.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (500g) full-fat plain Greek yogurt, cold
- 1/2 cup (120ml) honey or maple syrup (or 1/2 cup granulated sugar), adjust to taste
- 1/2 cup (45g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or other mix-ins
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are measured and cold. Freeze your ice cream maker bowl for at least 12-24 hours.
- 2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cold Greek yogurt, honey/maple syrup (or sugar), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- 3. Whisk in Dry Ingredients: Add the Dutch-processed cocoa powder and salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth, lump-free, and uniformly chocolate-colored.
- 4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and add more sweetener if desired, remembering it will taste less sweet when frozen.
- 5. Chill Thoroughly: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chocolate yogurt mixture for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, until very cold.
- 6. Churn: Pour the chilled mixture into your pre-frozen ice cream maker bowl. Churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (typically 20-30 minutes) until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. If adding mix-ins, stir them in during the last 5 minutes of churning.
- 7. Freeze to Firm: Transfer the soft-serve yogurt to an airtight freezer-safe container. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, then seal. Freeze for at least 2-4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
- 8. Serve: Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for optimal texture. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
