Description
A light and rich peppermint chocolate whipped Greek yogurt, perfect for holidays and quiet nights at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole fat)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3–4 tablespoons maple syrup (3 for normal sweetness, 4 if you like it sweeter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process or natural)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, whipped cream, crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Add Greek yogurt, heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla, and peppermint to the mixer bowl.
- Start mixing on low for about 20 seconds so the cream blends into the yogurt.
- Slowly increase the mixer to high speed.
- After about 2 minutes, reduce speed and stop the mixer.
- Use a spatula to scrape the sides and the bottom of the bowl.
- Mix again for 1 to 2 minutes until soft peaks form.
- Add cocoa powder and salt to the bowl.
- Mix on low to medium until the cocoa blends in.
- Stir quickly with a spatula to finish mixing.
- Chill in the fridge overnight for the best texture, or serve right away if you prefer.
- Serve with mini chocolate chips, whipped cream, or crushed candy canes if you like.
Notes
Soft peaks are the goal. Do not overbeat or the mixture can become too dense. If the yogurt feels thin after mixing, chill it to help set to a mousse-like feel.
