Description
This Brownie Batter Frozen Yogurt is a rich, chocolatey, and refreshingly creamy dessert made with simple, wholesome ingredients. It delivers the indulgent taste of brownie batter with a light frozen yogurt texture, perfect for warm days or anytime you need a healthier chocolate fix.
Ingredients
- 3 cups plain or vanilla yogurt (dairy or nondairy such as Silk)
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon dutch-process or natural cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- A little over 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 to 4 tablespoons unrefined sugar or xylitol (adjust to taste)
- 1/16 teaspoon pure stevia or 2 tablespoons additional sugar
- 1 handful chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, sugar (or xylitol), and stevia (or additional sugar) until fully smooth and combined.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed, remembering that frozen yogurt tastes less sweet once frozen.
- If using chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture.
- Pour the prepared batter into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20 to 25 minutes, until thick and creamy.
- Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 to 2 hours for a firmer consistency.
Notes
- Adjust sweetener based on your yogurt’s sweetness and personal taste.
- For stronger chocolate flavor, increase cocoa or add melted chocolate.
- Allow frozen yogurt to sit at room temperature before scooping if frozen solid.
- Baking soda helps smooth out cocoa’s acidity for a better flavor.
- Use high-protein yogurt or protein powder for a protein boost.
