Scale
Frozen Yogurt Base
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps of cocoa powder.
- Freeze: Pour the combined mixture into a loaf pan or an appropriate freezer-safe container, cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt is firm and frozen through.
- Serve: Once frozen, scoop the chocolate frozen yogurt into bowls or cones. For an extra chocolate boost and texture, garnish with cocoa nibs, dark chocolate shavings, or your preferred toppings before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture or low-fat Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
- The honey or maple syrup is optional; adjust sweetness to your taste.
- For a smoother texture, stir the mixture halfway through freezing.
- This recipe does not require an ice cream maker, making it easy and accessible.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
