Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional Toppings
- 1 tablespoon mini dark chocolate chips
- Fresh berries or banana slices
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring that the cocoa powder is fully incorporated without lumps.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the chocolate yogurt mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired, mixing again to combine.
- Serve or chill: Spoon the prepared mixture into serving bowls or glasses. If preferred, chill in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes to achieve a thicker, pudding-like texture, or serve immediately for a creamier consistency.
- Add toppings: Before serving, optionally sprinkle mini dark chocolate chips on top along with fresh berries or banana slices to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based Greek-style yogurt and use maple syrup as the sweetener.
- Blending the mixture briefly can create a fluffier texture if desired.
- Adjust the cocoa powder and sweetener amounts based on your preferred chocolate richness and sweetness level.
