• ¼ cup nonfat Greek yogurt

Instructions

Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, erythritol, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.

Add the Milk
Gradually add the almond milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Heat and Thicken
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to simmer and thicken, about 5–7 minutes. Be sure not to boil.

Stir in the Vanilla
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool for a few minutes.

Add Greek Yogurt for Creaminess
Once slightly cooled, whisk in the Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.

Chill and Serve
Transfer the mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Serve chilled, and if you like, garnish with fresh berries or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

Tips for Success

• Whisk Constantly – This prevents lumps and ensures a silky-smooth texture.
• Chill for Perfect Texture – Let it chill for at least an hour; it sets beautifully in the fridge.
• Top It Off – Fresh berries, a dollop of light whipped cream, or a dusting of cocoa powder add a beautiful touch.
• Make It Vegan – Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt if needed.
