Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (50 g) cocoa powder
- 2 cups (480 ml) Greek yogurt
- ½ cup (170 g) honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (45 g) dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preparation: Whisk Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and fully combined, creating a rich, chocolatey base.
- Chocolate Infusion: Fold dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the yogurt mixture, distributing the decadent morsels to ensure maximum flavor in every bite.
- Freezing Process: Pour the chocolate yogurt into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Secure with an airtight lid and place in the coldest part of the freezer for at least 4 hours.
- Serving: Remove the frozen yogurt from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into chilled serving bowls, optionally garnishing with additional chocolate chips or a light cocoa powder dusting to elevate the presentation.
Notes
- Chill Serving Bowls: Pre-chill ceramic or glass bowls in the freezer to keep the frozen yogurt from melting quickly and maintain its perfect texture.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution: Fold chocolate chips gently to prevent sinking, ensuring a consistent chocolate bite in every spoonful.
- Freezing Sweet Spot: Position container in the coldest part of the freezer, typically the back, to achieve a consistent, creamy freeze without ice crystals.
- Softening Strategy: Let the frozen yogurt rest exactly 5-10 minutes before serving to reach the ideal scoopable consistency without becoming too runny.
