Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 package (about 1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin powder
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ounces dark chocolate (chopped)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the whole milk and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar.
Add the heavy cream and place the saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps and ensure a silky texture.
Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins or serving glasses.
Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries for an extra touch of elegance.
