Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 cup cacao powder
- ½ cup almond milk (plain or vanilla, unsweetened)
Sweeteners:
- ⅔ cup maple syrup
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Gather and measure all ingredients carefully, ensuring precise proportions for optimal flavor and texture.
- Transfer the measured ingredients into a high-powered blender, positioning them strategically to maximize blending efficiency.
- Activate the blender and process the mixture on high speed, continuing to blend until the cacao powder fully integrates and the consistency becomes completely smooth and uniform.
- Once the mixture reaches a silky, homogeneous texture, pause the blender and prepare your ice cream maker for churning.
- Carefully pour the blended yogurt mixture into the ice cream maker’s freezing container, following the manufacturer’s specific churning guidelines.
- Allow the machine to churn the mixture for approximately 15 minutes in a KitchenAid ice cream maker, monitoring as it transforms into a soft, creamy soft-serve consistency.
- For immediate serving, scoop the freshly churned frozen yogurt directly into chilled serving bowls, enjoying its light and airy texture.
- For a firmer, more traditional ice cream texture, transfer the churned mixture into an airtight container or a parchment-lined pan, ensuring complete coverage with plastic wrap to prevent moisture and freezer burn.
- Refrigerate the container in the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing the frozen yogurt to solidify and develop a more intense, creamy consistency.
- Before serving, remove the frozen yogurt from the freezer and let it rest at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly.
- Garnish with your preferred toppings such as fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts, and savor the rich, decadent Greek chocolate frozen yogurt.
