Final Liberation Diet Chocolate Yoghurt
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 3 teaspoons artificial sweetener or 3 teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute
- 14 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
- 140 g thick nonfat plain yogurt (about 5 ounces)
- 2 g chocolate, to taste (grated medium fine, not too fine)
- Grate part of a piece of your preferred chocolate into a bowl.
- I used Dark Bitter chocolate for the strongest chocolate flavour) but I'm sure that bittersweet or even white chocolate would be fine if you prefer!
- :).
- Put aside.
- Spoon Cocoa powder into a small plastic tub.
- (A cleaned, used individual yoghurt tub is ideal - plastic is good because it doesn't warm the yoghurt like pottery or glass would.
- ).
- Add the granulated sweetener and mix it well with the cocoa.
- Add the vanilla flavouring and a small 3/4 teaspoon or so of the yoghurt.
- Using teaspoon mix well until all the cocoa is mixed in and it forms a very thick paste.
- If necessary add a little more yoghurt.
- Should only take a few seconds.
- Add a little more of the yoghurt - a teaspoon or two and mix that in well.
- Then add the rest of the yoghurt and stir it well.
- Add the grated chocolate and stir into the yoghurt.
- DEVOUR!
- Note: I kept the sweetness on the light side because it's easy to add more.
- I actually added another 1/2 tsp sweetener but it kind of depends how heaped you make those teaspoons - I don't !
- If you find it's already a bit too sweet then you can add a little more yoghurt.
- This would stand the addition of some preserved cherries or other fruit such as small pieces of orange, banana, butterscotch or toffee chips and even a little kirschwasser, rum or Baileys if you're feeling indulgent.
- If you're feeling really indulgent you could add cherries, liqueur and top with whipped cream, then sprinkle some grated chocolate or candied citrus fruit or zest for presentation.
- Can easily be prepared in larger volumes and chilled.
- UPDATE:.
- I did make it again later - and yes it is absolutely delicious with small pieces of chopped up ripe banana :).
