1
Grate part of a piece of your preferred chocolate into a bowl.
-
2
I used Dark Bitter chocolate for the strongest chocolate flavour) but I'm sure that bittersweet or even white chocolate would be fine if you prefer!
-
3
:).
-
4
Put aside.
-
5
Spoon Cocoa powder into a small plastic tub.
-
6
(A cleaned, used individual yoghurt tub is ideal - plastic is good because it doesn't warm the yoghurt like pottery or glass would.
-
7
).
-
8
Add the granulated sweetener and mix it well with the cocoa.
-
9
Add the vanilla flavouring and a small 3/4 teaspoon or so of the yoghurt.
-
10
Using teaspoon mix well until all the cocoa is mixed in and it forms a very thick paste.
-
11
If necessary add a little more yoghurt.
-
12
Should only take a few seconds.
-
13
Add a little more of the yoghurt - a teaspoon or two and mix that in well.
-
14
Then add the rest of the yoghurt and stir it well.
-
15
Add the grated chocolate and stir into the yoghurt.
-
16
DEVOUR!
-
17
Note: I kept the sweetness on the light side because it's easy to add more.
-
18
I actually added another 1/2 tsp sweetener but it kind of depends how heaped you make those teaspoons - I don't !
-
19
If you find it's already a bit too sweet then you can add a little more yoghurt.
-
20
This would stand the addition of some preserved cherries or other fruit such as small pieces of orange, banana, butterscotch or toffee chips and even a little kirschwasser, rum or Baileys if you're feeling indulgent.
-
21
If you're feeling really indulgent you could add cherries, liqueur and top with whipped cream, then sprinkle some grated chocolate or candied citrus fruit or zest for presentation.
-
22
Can easily be prepared in larger volumes and chilled.

UPDATE:.

I did make it again later - and yes it is absolutely delicious with small pieces of chopped up ripe banana :).
