Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional for coating)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (optional for coating)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, add the low-fat milk and place it over medium heat. Heat until it begins to steam but do not bring it to a boil.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir well to ensure no lumps.
Add the cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla extract to the milk, whisking continuously until everything is well combined and smooth.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan and continue to whisk as the mixture starts to thicken. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Once cooled, mix the low-fat Greek yogurt into the cocoa milk mixture until smooth.
Pour the mixture into ice cream molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until solid.
For a chocolate coating (optional), melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Dip each frozen chocobar into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coverage, and quickly return them to the freezer to harden.
Serve directly from the freezer when ready to enjoy.
