It’s like summer on an ice cream cone.
I got the idea for brownie fro-yo after making my favorite Brownie Batter Dip.
That’s actually how I come up with many of my recipe ideas: think of a particular flavor, then brainstorm every possible dessert that could work for said flavor. Brownie batter dip, brownie batter frozen yogurt, brownie batter fudge, brownie batter waffles…
In other words: don’t be surprised if you someday see brownie batter cheesecake on my blog!
Brownie Batter Frozen Yogurt
Adapted from: How To Make Frozen Yogurt.
- 3 cups plain or vanilla yogurt, such as Silk nondairy
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp dutch or regular cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- a little over 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 3-4 tbsp unrefined sugar or xylitol, or more to taste depending on the yogurt you use. The frozen result will be less sweet than the batter.
- 1/16 tsp pure stevia, or 2 tbsp additional sugar
- handful chocolate chips, optional
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, and stir until completely combined. Transfer to an ice-cream maker (If you don’t have one, see nutrition link below). Important note: Be sure that you like the taste of the particular yogurt you’re using. A few of my friends thought this recipe had a strange taste, but it turns out they just didn’t like the Silk yogurt!

I made this today after having saved it since you published it! It was delicious! I used Fage 2% yogurt, which gave it a bit of a tang!! I also added 1 TBS agave syrup, and used regular and brown sugar, as was written in the recipe. The changes upped the calories to 89 for 8 servings. So worth it!
Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I made it in my ice cream maker and it tastes good. I put an extra tbsp of sugar in it, because the chocolate was a little too bitter. And I added the chocolate chips. Yum.
I’m slightly confused. It says to add sugar AND stevia?
Do you have to use the baking soda, and if so why?
Hi there! We just made this tonight, and it’s delicious!! We want our kids to be able to enjoy fun desserts…but we also want to keep things healthy – this is great! They loved making it and eating it!!! Thanks for all your great posts – we’ve made several other things of yours we love, too!! 😀
How do I know when it’s done in the ice cream maker?
Can you substitute stevia and xylitol for other sweeteners like sweet and low?
