Get ready to satisfy your chocolate cravings with a guilt-free twist: homemade chocolate frozen yogurt. This creamy and indulgent treat combines the irresistible flavours of chocolate with the cool and refreshing goodness of frozen yogurt, creating a dessert that will have you coming back for more.
When the smooth and creamy texture melts in your mouth, it releases the rich and velvety notes of premium cocoa. Then, with each bite, you’ll experience a burst of chocolatey bliss, perfectly balanced with the tanginess of greek yogurt.
Creating your own homemade chocolate frozen yogurt could hardly be easier!. Firstly, start by whisking together Greek yogurt, unsweetened cocoa powder, a little cream and a touch of honey. It’s as simple as that to make a relatively guilt free chocolate treat. For an extra boost of flavour, add some chocolate chips or a swirl of chocolate sauce, the choice is yours. After the mixture is well-combined, pour it into an ice cream maker and let it churn until it reaches a creamy consistency. Worry not if you don’t have an ice cream maker, there’s a simple, manual alternative technique in the recipe for you.
The result? Undoubtedly a homemade chocolate frozen yogurt that rivals any store-bought option. Its luscious texture and intense chocolate flavour will leave you craving for more. Serve it in a bowl or a cone as a summer cooler. Alternatively top with your favourite sprinkles or fresh fruit for an extra delicious dessert.
The live cultures in yogurt can really help your gut health. Furthermore, for an even healthier version you can leave out the cream. For those with dietary restrictions you could even use dairy free yogurt. It’s such a versatile dish to try
Whether it’s a sunny summer day or a cosy evening, homemade chocolate frozen yogurt is the perfect companion for your dessert cravings. So, grab a spoon and get ready to enjoy the best of both worlds—chocolatey goodness and frozen yogurt bliss. Treat yourself to this delightful creation and savour each mouthful.

Homemade Chocolate Frozen Yogurt Recipe
Homemade Chocolate Frozen Yogurt
Equipment
- 1 Stick blender wt whisk Or hand whisk
- 1 Ice Cream Maker Optional (See recipe for a simple, manual alternative)
- 1 Resealable, freezer-safe container At least 1lt in size
Ingredients
- 480 grams Greek yogurt (Full fat is best)
- 100 grams Doubles cream
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla extract
- 110 grams Honey (Or 140 g caster/ superfine sugar)
- 35 grams Cocoa powder
Instructions
Prep
- Weigh/ measure out your ingredients
To Make
- Place all of the ingredients into a large bowl and whisk well for 2-3 minutes. Alternatively, use a food mixer or a stick blender with a whisk attachment and mix for 1 minute on a medium high speed
- If using an ice cream maker, follow the user guidelines for best result then either eat immediately or place into a resealable, freezer-safe container and store in the freezer
- If making this recipe without an ice cream maker, scrape the mixed ingredients into a resealable, freezer-safe container and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes, remove and mix well with a spatula or spoon making sure to scrape down the sides of the container. Repeat this process every 30 minutes until the desired consistency is reached. Serve immediately or store in freezer
To Serve
- If storing in the freezer rather than serving immediately, remove 10-15 minutes (depending on your ambient temperature) prior to serving to allow the frozen yogurt to soften a little
Notes
- Whatever recipe you are making, get into the habit of tasting it at various points. Just because a recipe says a dish should be a certain way doesn’t mean you have to agree. After step 1 of the ‘To Make’ section, taste it. If you think it needs a little more honey or vanilla then add it here and mix again. The more experienced you get with any recipe or any style of cooking, the more you will trust your own palate. I’m a firm believer that when you make a recipe it becomes yours to adjust and play with. Sure, certain recipes require precise measurements for technical reasons but flavour is subjective and personal. Never be afraid to make a recipe your own or to use it as a starting point for an entirely new creation.
