Really Low-Fat Chocolate Frozen Yogurt

Submitted by KLHquilts

"This is as close to nonfat as chocolate frozen yogurt can get. If you're on Weight Watchers (or any other weight-management program) and you're dying for chocolate, this is a reasonable choice. And it's yummy!"

Yup yup! Non-fat Greek yogurt is the way to go, just awesome! I use a mixture of Splenda and Stevia herb to sweeten, in place of the sugar. I portion this out and freeze it in tight containers for later. When I want some, (which is every night, ha) I take it out of the freezer about an hour before I will eat it. It softens up just fine.

I used Fage from Costco and it was a little too tangy for my taste buds. Next time I may try reducing the yogurt some and replacing with milk.

This was very good - I added nuts and froze as individual popsicles. Nice treat on a hot summer's nite!

I highly recommend using non-fat non-sugar vanilla yoghurt, that way you don't have to add sugar to the recipe since the vanilla yoghurt is quite sweet :-) <br/>This is My favourite frozen yoghurt recipe, tastes just like a nice rich chocolaty ice cream! But the great thing about is that there is neither chocolate nor cream in this recipe!
