Frozen Greek Chocolate Yogurt (2024)

This frozen chocolate yogurt is delectably rich and creamy without the indulgence! It's naturally sweetened with maple syrup and has a deep chocolate flavor from cacao. With each bite you'll get a refreshing dose of tangy chocolate that's good until the last drop.

Why I Love This Recipe

This frozen yogurt recipe is about to change up the ice cream game forever. It's hard to believe only a few simple and wholesome ingredients can produce this delicious frozen magic. It's best made in an ice cream maker (I have this one) but you can also whip it up no churn-style if you're willing to wait.

The minute I discovered that I can make frozen greek chocolate yogurt at home, I knew this was going to be a new summer favorite. What I love most about this recipe though has to be the toppings possibilities. With a rich chocolate base, you can add just about anything to jazz it up. Add a brownie square on top or a nice warm cookie, crumble some granola and fresh fruit for a lighter touch, or go with the classic hot fudge, chocolate chips, and sprinkles!

Ingredients

• Greek yogurt - Make sure to use unsweetened and plain greek yogurt. I used 0% fat but you can also use 2%, 5% or full fat for a richer and creamier taste.
• Maple syrup - This is what we use to naturally sweeten the yogurt. Since we use unsweetened yogurt, it's important to add some sort of sweetener to combat the tanginess of the yogurt. You can use practically any type of sweetener like honey, coconut sugar, cane sugar, etc.
• Vanilla extract - Used to add a touch of natural flavor. The vanilla will help to deepen the chocolate taste.
• Almond milk - This helps thin out the ice cream mixture so it's not so thick. Any type of milk will work. You can even use heavy cream if you really want a creamy frozen yogurt.
• Cacao powder - This is what provides the chocolate flavor. Unsweetened cocoa powder will work as well.

How To Make Frozen Chocolate Yogurt

This frozen chocolate yogurt recipe is super easy to make. You will need a blender and an ice cream maker or an airtight container if using the no-churn style.

Step 1 : Blend ingredients

First, place all the ingredients in a blender and mix well until well incorporated. The blender should run smoothly and the cacao powder should be dissolved into the yogurt.

Step 2 : Pour into an ice cream maker

Pour the yogurt mixture into an ice cream maker and churn as directed. This frozen yogurt should take about 15 minutes to begin to solidify and form a soft serve ice cream consistency.

Step 3 : Let it set in the freezer

If you like your ice cream with a soft serve consistency, then you can actually go ahead and serve straight from the ice cream maker.

For a more traditional and firmer ice cream, scoop the ice cream into an ice cream container or use a pan lined with parchment paper. If using a pan, make sure to wrap it tightly with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Place the container in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the ice cream to solidify a bit.

No Churn-Style

To make this recipe without an ice cream maker, blend all the ingredients together as directed in step 1. Then pour the mixture into an air tight container and place it in the freezer to firm up for at least 6 hours.

I recommend checking on the ice cream every 4 hours and mixing it up with a spoon to prevent frost from developing on top.

Recipe variations

There are so many ways to make this chocolate yogurt recipe your own. Here a few mix-in ideas if you want to add something to the ice cream. You can add most of these into the ice cream maker after the ice cream is almost done.

• Mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings
• Pieces of edible cookie dough or brownie batter

• Chopped nuts
• Crushed up cookies or Oreos
• Peanut butter
