Welcome back to the blog, everyone! Today, I’m thrilled to share a recipe that combines the tangy goodness of Greek yogurt with the rich, indulgent flavor of chocolate. This Frozen Greek Chocolate Yogurt recipe is perfect for those warm days when you want a refreshing treat without all the guilt. It’s creamy, chocolaty, and surprisingly easy to make. Let’s dive into the details!
Ingredients
- 3 cups Greek yogurt (plain and unsweetened)
- 1 cup cacao powder
- ½ cup almond milk (plain or vanilla and unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients:
- Place all ingredients into a blender. Blend well until the mixture is smooth and the cacao powder is fully incorporated. Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth texture.
- Churn It Up:
- Pour the blended mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For instance, using a KitchenAid ice cream maker, it usually takes about 15 minutes to reach a soft-serve consistency.
- Soft Serve Option:
- If you prefer your frozen yogurt soft and creamy, you can serve it immediately after churning. Scoop into bowls and enjoy right away.
- Firmer Texture:
- For those who like their frozen yogurt with a more traditional ice cream texture, transfer the churned mixture into an airtight container or line a pan with parchment paper. Cover tightly with plastic wrap to avoid freezer burn and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Serving:
- Before serving, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. This makes it easier to scoop and gives a better texture. Feel free to garnish with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup.
