Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 3 cups Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder and granulated sugar to remove any lumps.
Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and whole milk to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding more sugar (whisk thoroughly to dissolve any additional sugar).
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and ensures a creamier texture when churned.
After chilling, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 20-25 minutes).
Once the frozen yogurt has a creamy, soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours to firm up.
Optional: Before serving, grate or shave dark chocolate over the top as garnish for an extra chocolatey touch.
Scoop and serve your Chocolate Frozen Yogurt immediately. Leftovers can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week.
