Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (720 ml) greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 cup (240 ml) cacao powder
- ½ cup (120 ml) almond milk (plain or vanilla, unsweetened)
- ⅔ cup (160 ml) maple syrup
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Meticulously measure all ingredients, ensuring precise proportions for an exceptional culinary experience.
- Blending: Combine ingredients in a high-powered blender, pulverizing the mixture until the cacao powder seamlessly integrates, creating a velvety smooth texture.
- Machine Setup: Prepare the ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions, readying it for the churning process.
- Churning: Pour the blended mixture into the ice cream maker’s freezing container, allowing it to transform into a luxurious soft-serve consistency over approximately 15 minutes.
- Initial Serving Option: For an immediate treat, scoop the freshly churned frozen yogurt into chilled serving bowls, embracing its light and airy composition.
- Freezing Method: Alternatively, transfer the churned mixture to an airtight container, carefully sealing with plastic wrap to prevent moisture intrusion and preserve optimal texture.
- Final Preparation: Remove from the freezer 2-3 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect creamy consistency, then embellish with an array of tantalizing toppings like fresh berries, delicate chocolate shavings, or crunchy chopped nuts.
Notes
- Chill Blending Equipment: Refrigerate blender and mixing tools beforehand to maintain yogurt’s cool temperature and prevent premature melting during preparation.
- Cocoa Quality Matters: Select high-quality, unsweetened cocoa powder for rich, intense chocolate flavor and smoother texture in the frozen yogurt.
- Prevent Ice Crystals: Cover the yogurt surface with plastic wrap directly touching the mixture to minimize air exposure and reduce unwanted ice crystal formation.
- Soften Strategically: Allow frozen yogurt to sit at room temperature for exactly 2-3 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect scoopable consistency without compromising texture.
