Frozen Yogurt Cake, a delicious healthy alternative to Ice Cream. Made with Creamy Greek Yogurt and dark chocolate chips. Chocolate Chip Frozen Yogurt Cake, the perfect Summertime Dessert.
I am not a plain Yogurt lover, I do not like to eat yogurt straight out of the container, unlike the other members of my family who all love it. Although I really wish I did like it, it’s one of those healthy grab out of the fridge kind of snacks.
Therefore it’s a good thing I like to bake with it, it’s amazing what you can make with some Greek yogurt. We all love this absolutely delicious, fast and Easy Yogurt Cake, and this amazing No-Bake Berry Greek Yogurt Cake went over really well. And now I can freeze it and make this yummy Chocolate Chip Frozen Yogurt Cake.
Sometimes I will think (not very often though)! “Oh no enough with Ice Cream let’s try something different craze” but I really really want the creaminess of ice cream, but not so much the calories, so I usually go for a frozen yogurt. I always loved a good Frozen Yogurt in Canada.
So I thought why not try making a Frozen Yogurt Cake, my husband loved the idea and my daughter decided that we needed to try a chocolate one. I have never seen chocolate yogurt in the grocery store here, but she assured me it was there.
So instead I decided on Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt. I added a few more chocolate chips, just because, some cream and of course I made a graham cracker crust base.
To tell the truth you cannot buy graham crackers in Italy, so a great alternative is crushed Digestive Cookies, you may want to give that a try because believe me it is really good, I prefer it to a graham crust.

Hello, I totally want to make this! I only have a nine lunch springform pan. Should I double the recipe? Or x1.5? Thank you!
Rosemary says
Hi Shelley, I would 1.5 it, I think doubling would be too much. Let me know how it goes.

This sounds and looks perfectly delicious. I love the healthier take on it too! I’m not one for eating yogurt straight up either, so this is a nice alternative.

I love frozen yogurt pies, but haven’t ever tried chocolate. Looks delicious! And I think I could just eat a cup of those chocolate curls and be very happy 🙂
