How to Make It
One 3-ingredient dessert, step by step.
- 01
Add everything to a bowl
Place the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and honey or maple syrup in a small bowl.
- 02
Mix until smooth
Stir well until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and evenly chocolatey.
- 03
Serve or chill briefly
Spoon the dessert into a small serving cup or enjoy it straight from the bowl. If you want a slightly firmer texture, chill it for 5–10 minutes before serving.
SVI SWEET Tip
Mix the cocoa thoroughly for the smoothest texture.
Cocoa powder can cling in small dry pockets at first, so keep stirring until the dessert looks evenly smooth and creamy with no streaks left.
Substitutions
Make it work with what you have.
Greek yogurt
Plain Greek yogurt gives the thickest and creamiest texture. A regular plain yogurt can work too, but the dessert will be looser.
Sweetener
Honey or maple syrup both work well. Maple syrup gives a slightly softer sweetness, while honey creates a richer flavor.
Cocoa powder
Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a simple chocolate flavor. Dutch-process cocoa can also be used for a darker taste.
Make it sweeter
Taste the dessert after mixing. If your cocoa powder is especially intense, you may want a tiny bit more honey or maple syrup.
Storage
Best fresh, but easy to keep.
Refrigerator
Cover the dessert and refrigerate it for up to 1 day.
Before serving
Serve it cold straight from the refrigerator, or stir it briefly again if it has firmed up slightly.
Fresh texture
This dessert is best shortly after mixing, when the texture is extra smooth and creamy.
FAQ
A few helpful answers.
Is this really only 3 ingredients?
Yes. This dessert uses only Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and honey or maple syrup.
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but the dessert will be thinner and less rich. Greek yogurt gives the best thick, creamy texture.
Can I chill it before eating?
Yes. A short chill of 5–10 minutes can make the dessert a little firmer and even more refreshing.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes. Double all ingredients and divide the dessert between two small serving cups.
