Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional, for an extra coffee kick)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for a delightful crunchy surprise)

Whipped cream (for topping, optional)

Cocoa nibs or chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, cooled brewed coffee, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and instant espresso powder (if you choose to use it). Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and all components are well blended.

    Sweeten to Taste: Sample the yogurt mixture and adjust the sweetness according to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, gradually add more honey or maple syrup, mixing thoroughly after each addition to incorporate the sweetness evenly.

      Add Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the dark chocolate chips into the yogurt mixture, ensuring an even distribution so that every bite is filled with delightful pockets of chocolate.

        Pour into Cups: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill silicone molds or paper muffin cups with the yogurt mixture. Make sure to leave about 1/4 inch of space at the top of each cup to allow for expansion as the yogurt freezes.

          Freeze: Transfer the filled cups to the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.

            Serve & Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the cups from the freezer. Allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier consumption. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with cocoa nibs or chocolate shavings for an added touch of elegance.

              Store: Any leftover yogurt cups can be carefully wrapped in plastic wrap. If using silicone molds, gently pop the cups out and place them in an airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to one month for future enjoyment.
