Dairy
Chocolate
Chocolate yoghurt blends cocoa or chocolate flavour into sweetened yoghurt—closer to a light mousse dessert than to breakfast plain. Cocoa bitterness sits on lactic tang; quality depends on cocoa content versus sugar and aromas. Serve cold as a dessert pot; top with fruit or crumbs. Not for savoury use. Children’s chocolate yoghurts can be very sweet; dark chocolate adult versions are less cloying. Do not boil; cocoa mixes can seize or grain if overheated.
