Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Use Full-Fat Greek Yogurt: The creaminess of full-fat yogurt gives the best texture and flavor, balancing the rich cocoa and natural sweetness.
• Bloom the Cocoa Powder: To deepen the chocolate taste, whisk cocoa powder with 1 tbsp warm water before mixing it into the yogurt.
• Serve as Dessert or Snack: Add fresh berries or granola for a breakfast twist, or keep it plain and chilled for a guilt-free dessert.
