Chocolate Frozen Yogurt Supreme
INGREDIENTS
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. cornstarch
- 1 pinch of salt
- 375 ml can fat-free evaporated milk
- 3 Tbsp. strong coffee or espresso
- 1 tsp. real vanilla extract
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 50g Lindt excellence 70% cocoa extra fine dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
DIRECTIONS
- In a medium saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, evaporated milk and coffee. Heat over medium heat while whisking occasionally until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to whisk while at the boil for 3 minutes. Take mixture off the heat.
- While milk mixture comes to the boil heat cream separately. I put the cream in a small dish and heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Break up the chocolate and put the pieces into the hot cream. Stir the chocolate into the cream until the chocolate sauce comes together.
- Whisk chocolate sauce and vanilla into milk mixture, continue whisking until smooth.
- Cool mixture in an ice bath or refrigerate until cold. Process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturers directions. In my Cuisinart ICE-20C I process it for 25 min.
- Makes 750g [a large yogurt container]
RECIPE BACKSTORY
I really like the consistency of this recipe even after it sits in the freezer for days. The chocolate with the tang of the yogurt is sublime. I never feel guilty enjoying this like I do sometimes with ice cream. The small amount of cream adds to the richness of the chocolate.

I will add a photo when I make my next batch.
