    Chocolate Frozen Yogurt

    Jump to Recipe

    Creamy, rich, tangy and lovely. This dairy-free Chocolate Frozen Yogurt is a delicious and versatile treat on a hot summer day. Scooped onto cones, or enjoyed with fresh berries and toppings, this churned fro-yo is a winner. And if you let it chill in the fridge to harden, it is perfect for adding to a banana shake, to give the effect of a rich and frosty milkshake. If you love the subtle tang of frozen yogurt and all things chocolate, give this easy recipe a twirl..

    Summertime. Heatwave weather. Triple digits. It’s all good. Because, ice cream. (And fro-yo.)

    I have really fallen in love with coconut milk-based ice cream, swiftly churned in my ice cream maker. It is SO speedy to make and has such a lovely texture.

    How I do it? I have a can of fully chilled coconut milk all ready to go in the fridge. Then I blend the simple ingredients in my Vitamix, pour into my machine and churn for a few. Soft serve ice cream is ready in under twenty minutes. Or you can place the churned mixture in the freezer to chill a bit longer, perfect for scooping.

    And while I am talking Vitamix. Did you know that you can snag one on Amazon for $249! That is an amazing deal. Such a worthy wellness investment. And if you are hesitant to buy ‘refurbished’ – don’t be! I visited the Vitamix headquarters and heard first-hand how extensively they check and certify their blenders – new and refurbished. I tell all my friends and family to buy refurbished because the savings are just incredible.

    Back to chocolate..

    Add it to smoothies! And as I mentioned above, after this froyo fully chills in the freezer, it gets really firm and creamy. But that texture is perfect for adding to chocolate banana shakes! It turns my light and lovely frozen banana ice cream into a true decadent ice cream milkshake-like treat.

    Here is a simple shake recipe:

    2 frozen bananas
    1 scoop nut butter (opt’l)
    1 teaspoon cacao powder
    ½ cup Chocolate Frozen Yogurt
    1 cup non-dairy milk
    pink of sea salt

    Blend and serve with a spoon.

    Hope you guys are having a happy, sunny summer!

    No Ice Cream Maker? The recipe above requires an ice cream maker, but if you do not have one and just want to use a blender like a Vitamix, I would advise trying this recipe: chocolate blender ice cream — To make a FroYo version, simply sub some of the non-dairy milk with a plain or vanilla non-dairy yogurt.
