Hey there!
If you’re a chocolate lover (who isn’t, honestly?), this Chocolate Frozen Yogurt is going to be your new favorite treat.
It’s creamy, rich, and perfectly sweet—but still has that tangy yogurt kick that makes it light and refreshing.
The best part?
It’s super easy to whip up, and you don’t even need an ice cream maker!
It’s the perfect recipe to make with the kids—they’ll love licking the spoon (and the bowl!) while you mix it all together.
Let’s get started!
What You’ll Need
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat, your choice!)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or more, depending on your sweetness level)
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: Chocolate chips, sprinkles, or fresh fruit
Pro Tips
- Sift the cocoa powder before mixing to avoid lumps—it makes a huge difference!
- Chill your yogurt and milk beforehand to speed up freezing time.
- Taste the mix before freezing—you can always add a little extra sugar or cocoa if needed.
- For kids, set up a topping bar with fun options like sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or crushed cookies.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze in a shallow container and stir every 30 minutes to prevent it from getting too icy.
Tools You’ll Need
- A medium mixing bowl
- A whisk or hand mixer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- A shallow freezer-safe container (like a loaf pan)
Substitutions & Variations
- Swap the sugar for honey or maple syrup for a more natural sweetness.
- Use dairy-free yogurt and almond milk to make this recipe vegan.
- Add a teaspoon of instant coffee powder for a mocha flavor boost!
Make-Ahead Tips
- Mix up the yogurt base the night before, so all you have to do is freeze it the next day.
Instructions
1. Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cocoa powder, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps!
2. Taste and Adjust
Give the mixture a quick taste. If you like it sweeter, add a bit more sugar. If you want it extra chocolaty, add a pinch more cocoa powder.
3. Freeze the Mixture
Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Smooth it out with a spatula, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
4. Freeze and Stir
Place the container in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals and keep it creamy.
5.Serve and Enjoy
Once fully frozen, scoop the chocolate frozen yogurt into bowls. Top with your favorite goodies and dig in!
Leftovers and Storage
Store any leftover frozen yogurt in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
