Ingredients
- * 4 ounces of dark chocolate about 113 grams
- * 1 cup of fresh raspberries about 125 grams
- * 1 cup of Greek yogurt about 240 grams
- * 1/4 cup of honey about 60 ml
- * 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract about 2.5 ml
- * Pinch of sea salt
- * Fresh mint leaves optional for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by melting your dark chocolate. Use a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. This will form your creamy base.
- Once your chocolate has slightly cooled but is still liquid, gradually fold it into the yogurt mixture. This step is crucial: if the chocolate is too hot, it may cause the yogurt to curdle.
- Toss in a pinch of sea salt to contrast the sweetness.
- Carefully fold half of the raspberries into the mixture, ensuring they're distributed evenly.
- Distribute the mixture into two dessert cups or glasses.
- Garnish the top with the remaining raspberries. For an extra touch, a fresh mint leaf does wonders.
- Chill in the fridge for about an hour or until you're ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Notes
1. Opt for a dark chocolate with 70% cocoa or more. It not only provides those health benefits but also gives a richer taste.
2. If Greek yogurt isn't your thing, feel free to swap it out for another thick yogurt or even a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt.
3. When melting the chocolate, always ensure no water gets into the bowl. Even a tiny drop can cause the chocolate to seize.
4. Don't rush the chilling process. Letting your **Healthy Chocolate Raspberry Dessert** set ensures the best texture and flavor development. * Serve your dessert in a chilled glass for an extra touch of luxury.
* Fancy a bit of crunch? Granola or toasted almonds make a perfect topping.
* For those watching their sugar intake, replace honey with a natural sweetener of your choice. Adjust to taste.
* This **Healthy Chocolate Raspberry Dessert** pairs beautifully with a cold brew coffee or a herbal tea.
