Homemade Chocolate Yogurt
This simple homemade chocolate yogurt blends creamy Greek yogurt with unsweetened cocoa powder and optional sweetener for a mildly chocolatey, smooth treat. It offers a rich texture with a balance of tangy yogurt and chocolate flavor, making it a flexible snack or breakfast option that can be adjusted for sweetness and add-ins.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Greek yogurt 120g
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1-3 teaspoon powdered sweetener optional, to taste ***see notes
Instructions
- Put the Greek yogurt into a small mixing bowl and add the cocoa powder.
- Using a spoon, slowly stir the ingredients until they come together. The mixture should be creamy and uniform, without any cocoa powder lumps.
- Taste and decide whether you would like to add a sweetener of your choice.
- Enjoy the yogurt straight away or store it in the fridge until you are ready to eat it. Option to add one or more of the toppings mentioned in the recipe notes below.
Notes
- Greek yogurt works best for thickness; other plain yogurts can substitute, including dairy-free.
- Add a splash of milk or water if mixture is too thick for stirring.
- Sweeten with powdered sugar substitute or natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup as preferred.
- Letting the yogurt sit refrigerated for 30-60 minutes helps cocoa powder dissolve and improves creaminess.
- Optional protein or collagen powder can boost protein content.
- Top with fresh fruit, nuts, granola, or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
