Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole fat)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3–4 tablespoons maple syrup (3 for normal sweetness, 4 if you like it sweeter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process or natural)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, whipped cream, crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Whip the yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt (1 1/2 cups), whipping cream (1/2 cup), maple syrup (3-4 tablespoons), vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) and peppermint extract (1/4 teaspoon) to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or use a hand mixer. Begin mixing on low for about 20 seconds, until the liquid cream begins to mix into the yogurt. Slowly increase power to the highest speed.
- Keep whipping: After about 2 minutes of whisking, reduce speed and shut off mixer. Use a spatula to push down the sides of the bowl and make sure the very bottom of the bowl is mixed in. Continue mixing for another 1-2 minutes, or until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. The peaks will not be stiff, but will still stand up.
- Add cocoa: Next, add the cocoa powder (3 tablespoons) and salt (1/8 teaspoon) to the bowl. Mix on low-medium speed until the cocoa powder is mixed in. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and give it a quick stir with a rubber spatula to mix completely.
- Serve & store: You can enjoy the whipped greek yogurt now, but I recommend chilling in the fridge overnight for the best texture and flavor. The whipped yogurt will thicken and should have a near mousse-like texture after being in the fridge overnight. Serve with whipped cream and mini chocolate chips if you wish. Leftovers will store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days for best quality.
