Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 cup cacao powder
- ½ cup almond milk (plain or vanilla, unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the Greek yogurt, cacao powder, almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a creamy chocolate base.
- Churn Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn the mixture, which should take about 15 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Serve Soft-Serve: If you prefer enjoying the frozen yogurt immediately, scoop it into bowls directly after churning and savor the creamy, soft texture.
- Freeze for Firmer Texture: For a more solid frozen yogurt, transfer the churned mixture to an airtight container or a parchment-lined pan. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Thaw Slightly Before Serving: When ready to eat, let the frozen yogurt sit for a few minutes to soften slightly, which will enhance the creaminess.
- Add Toppings: Customize your frozen yogurt by adding toppings such as chocolate chips, fresh berries, or granola to complement the rich chocolate flavor and add texture.
Notes
- You can use either plain or vanilla-flavored unsweetened almond milk depending on your sweetness preference.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar for different sweetness profiles.
- This recipe requires an ice cream maker; if unavailable, you can freeze the blended mixture in a container and stir every 30 minutes to reduce ice crystals.
- For added texture, try mixing in nuts or shredded coconut during the last few minutes of churning.
- Store leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to one week.
