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!

Mind did not turn out…. 🙁 I had a sour taste to it so I do NOT recommend Old Home vanilla youget
This sounds amazing! (just like all your recipes). I am currently obsessed with your one minute chocolate cake but this recipe might change that. Quick question, do you have any info about converting stevia granules to stevia drops in a recipe? I just bought the drops and don’t have any packets left. Thanks!
Yummmmmmmmmmmmy! I think I have found my new favorite summer treat. This was freakin delicious! Want more right now, and it’s 8 in the morning!
I made this with the Hamilton Beach Soft-Serve maker I snagged for $13 rather than an actual ice-cream maker, and I was really impressed with the result. However, I used Silk Live! and was surprised that it had an almost cherry flavor when frozen…
It still tastes delicious, but maybe next time I’ll opt for a subtle-flavored brand. But man, what an easy way to get calcium! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
Just wondering why the recipe calls for sugar (potentially) twice. It looks delicious but I don’t want to make a rookie mistake in case I’m reading it incorrectly 🙂
I used a combination of sugar and stevia. But I know some people don’t have–or don’t like–stevia. So they can omit the stevia ingredient and just add extra sugar in its place. 🙂
Has anybody ever tried this with Greek yogurt??? It’s the only kind of yogurt I have in the fridge right now and I really wanna make this tonight!!
I love your website and make vegan treats for my son (and the rest of us). However, since I am not vegan myself, and had some Fage Greek yogurt on hand, I tried the recipe using that. Actually, I made just half the recipe in case I didn’t like it, but I needn’t have worried. SO GOOD!!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Katie, I have been reading your blog regularly since the cookie dough dip post, and sporadically before that, but this is my first time posting. 2 reasons:
1) I just have to tell you I like how you set up your posts with all the links so it’s easy to find things. I never have problems finding recipes on your site. I think this particular post, with having to have 4 different windows open, is the exception and not the rule as far as having to click “too much.” I wouldn’t change a thing, you’ve got a good thing going on here and I like it.
2) I don’t have an ice cream maker, could I just blend and freeze these as popsicles? I want to try this recipe so badly I might just try it tonight and answer my own question. If so I’ll let you know.
Thanks so much for all you do. I can’t wait for your cookbook to come out!!
Thank you, Amy! 🙂
I haven’t tried it in pop form, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. If you try, report back… now I’m curious too!
I tried it last night and just had one for a snack, it was really good! I froze them in 3 oz paper cups and stuck popsicle sticks in them. I had to let the one I ate sit out for a little while, then I just peele the paper cup off and voila! It was a bit hard, and more like an ice pop, but it was still delicious and creamy. I think if I let it sit out and thaw for a few more minutes it would have been better. I also filled half of the cup up with the yogurt, then did a thin layer of chcolate syrup and filled it the rest of the way up with yogurt for a chocolatey center/filling, it was SO good. I think this recipe is definitely a keeper!!!
I eat this EVERY SINGLE DAY! I add peanut butter and probably more cocoa and I don’t always freeze it….it taste just as good cold…but it takes longer to eat frozen which is a good thing. Sweetened with stevia this is what keeps me on a low card diet…otherwise I wouldn’t last a week.
I use regular skim or low fat yogurt…sometimes strained…sometimes not.
