Everything you want to know to make a perfect homemade gelato with the ice cream maker Learn more The origin of stracciatella ice cream flavor At first I doubted that adding just melted chocolate to the yogurt might not bring the best results. The chocolate chips or shavings should be melt-in-your-mouth type. I thought that pure melted chocolate makes too hard chips and you hardly taste them. Therefore, in my first experiment I melted equal amounts of 100% chocolate and organic extra virgin coconut oil. If you are a friend of mint chocolate flavor, you can add finely chopped mint leaves to the yogurt, or some peppermint flavor. For smooth chocolate yogurt you can do like I did in my first experiment: simply melt 1 oz (30 g) 100% chocolate and 1 oz (30 g) organic extra virgin coconut oil. Add the stevia. Mix the melted mixture in the yogurt, where you have added the erythritol, stevia and vanilla extract. Alothman M, Hogan SA, Hennessy D, et al. The "grass-fed" milk story: Understanding the impact of pasture feeding on the composition and quality of bovine milk. Foods. 2019;8(8):350. doi:10.3390/foods8080350To make flavors even richer and smoother, you can add some whipped cream. Or decorate the servings with nice dollops of whipped cream. Secondly, at least when I grate chocolate it’s a huge mess. If not the whole kitchen is covered by grated chocolate, at least the table and most of the floor is. Nowadays I grate the chocolate on a plate in the kitchen sink, but it’s still all messy. Lisko DJ, Johnston GP, Johnston CG. Effects of dietary yogurt on the healthy human gastrointestinal (Gi) microbiome. Microorganisms. 2017;5(1):6.

I added the melted mixture to the yogurt and stirred with a spoon, but the chocolate didn’t solidify. It didn’t form nice chips, it simply dissolved in the yogurt. Well, the result was nice and smooth chocolate yogurt, delicious as well, but I wanted stracciatella, so tiny chocolate chips. Swap in Greek yogurt to replace some of the sour cream or mayonnaise in dips, dressings and soups. You’ll get the benefits of yogurt and cut some saturated fats from your diet. United States Department of Agriculture; Cooperative Extension. What is the difference between whole milk and homogenized milk, if there is one? Always look at the nutrition facts label when choosing Greek yogurt, as some products contain a lot of added sugar. It's important to note that plain (unsweetened) Greek yogurt contains a few grams of natural milk sugar, which is called lactose. Aim to choose a product with less than 10 grams of total sugar per serving and limited added sugar. You can also combine a Greek yogurt that is higher in added sugar with a plain variety to make your own lightly sweetened blend. I like to use Dannon Fit & Light Greek yogurt, vanilla flavored, because I think it's just so incredibly creamy and sweet (plus I'm not in love with that sour tang in the more “hard core” Greek yogurts). It holds up to the chocolate really well.Benbrook CM, Butler G, Latif MA, Leifert C, Davis DR.
