Greek Yogurt Dessert
Attention chocolate lovers: this amazing greek yogurt dessert is your go-to sweet treat for when you don't have time in the kitchen! 6 ingredients and no special skills to make pure perfection in glasses.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
For the Chocolate Yogurt:
- 1 ½ cup / 360 g greek yogurt, or strained yogurt or skyr
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 3.5 oz/ 100 g dark chocolate
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Compote:
- 7 oz/ 200 g strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoon caster sugar
Instructions
Chocolate Yogurt:
- Take the yogurt out of the fridge about 30 minutes before starting to prepare the recipe.
- Mix the yogurt with sugar and vanilla extract and mix well with a whisk.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler (in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water). Cool down the melted chocolate: it shouldn't be too hot.
- Using a rubber spatula, gradually add little portions of the yogurt mixture to the melted chocolate, mixing energetically after each addition. The goal is to combine both mixtures into a nice creamy filling with smooth consistency.
- Spoon the mixture into three glasses or ramequins. Cover them with cling film and let sit in the fridge for few hours.
- Before serving add the strawberry compote.
Strawberry Compote:
- Chop the strawberries in small pieces. If using frozen fruit, first thaw them a bit.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat combine chopped strawberries and sugar. Stir gently from time to time until the mixture starts simmering. Lower the heat and keep stirring until the liquid is reduced (about 8 to 10 minutes).
- Remove the saucepan from the stove and let cool almost until room temperature.
Notes
- If the yogurt is still a bit cold, it is possible part of the chocolate to form little pieces inside (almost like stracciatella). This shouldn’t be a problem but if you want a smooth consistency, make sure the yogurt is not cold. You can also cool the chocolate after melting by mixing it for 5 minutes with the spatula.

- Store the dessert refrigerated for 2-3 days.
