Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt: The star of the show! Greek yogurt brings a luxuriously smooth texture and a protein boost to this recipe making it both satisfying and nutritious. Choose full-fat for extra richness or low-fat for a lighter option.
  • 2-3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder: This is what gives your yogurt that deep chocolatey flavor. For an extra indulgent twist, try dark cocoa powder.
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup: These natural sweeteners balance the tanginess of the yogurt and the bitterness of the cocoa. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: A splash of vanilla adds warmth and depth to the flavor profile.
  • A pinch of sea salt: Trust me this tiny addition makes a big difference! It enhances the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness perfectly.
  • Optional toppings: Get creative! Fresh berries granola, chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, or a drizzle of almond butter can take your yogurt to the next level.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

  • Before you begin, make sure you have a medium-sized mixing bowl, a whisk or spatula, and an airtight container for storage. Having everything ready ensures a smooth cooking experience.

Step 2: Create the Chocolate Base

  • In your mixing bowl, combine 2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder with a pinch of sea salt. Whisk them together to remove any lumps. This step ensures the cocoa blends seamlessly into the yogurt for a velvety texture.

Step 3: Sweeten and Flavor

  • Add 2-3 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cocoa mixture. Stir until it forms a thick, glossy paste. This is where the magic happens—the combination of sweet and rich flavors sets the foundation for your yogurt.

Step 4: Fold in the Yogurt

  • Now, add 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt to the bowl. Using a spatula, gently fold the yogurt into the chocolate mixture until fully combined. Take your time here—this ensures a smooth, lump-free consistency.

Step 5: Taste and Adjust

  • Give your mixture a quick taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more honey or maple syrup. For a more intense chocolate flavor, sprinkle in an extra teaspoon of cocoa powder. This recipe is all about making it perfect for your palate.

Step 6: Chill to Perfection

  • Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together, creating a richer, more cohesive taste.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  • When you’re ready to indulge, scoop the yogurt into bowls or jars. Add your favorite toppings—fresh berries, granola, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter—and dig in!
