Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of Greek yogurt, 1 cup of cooled brewed coffee, 1/2 cup of caramel sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Make sure your coffee has cooled to room temperature to prevent melting the yogurt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and the cooled brewed coffee. Use a whisk or a spatula to mix them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Next, add the caramel sauce to the yogurt and coffee mixture. Stir well until the caramel is fully incorporated, and the mixture is a uniform color. You can adjust the amount of caramel sauce based on your sweetness preference.
- Sprinkle in the sea salt and mix again. The salt will enhance the flavors of the caramel and coffee, creating a delicious contrast.
- Once the mixture is well combined, gently fold in the chocolate chips. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until it reaches a firm, scoopable consistency.
- Once frozen, remove the container from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
- Scoop the salted caramel mocha frozen Greek yogurt into bowls or cones. Drizzle additional caramel sauce on top if desired, and enjoy your delicious treat!
Tips
- Coffee Temperature Matters: Ensure your brewed coffee is completely cooled to room temperature before mixing to prevent separation and maintain the yogurt's creamy texture.
- Quality Ingredients Make a Difference: Use high-quality Greek yogurt and fresh brewed coffee for the best flavor profile.
- Caramel and Salt Balance: Adjust the sea salt and caramel sauce to your taste. Start with the recommended amount and taste as you go.
- Freezing Technique: For the smoothest texture, stir the mixture every hour during freezing to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
- Serving Tip: Let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect scoopable consistency.
- Garnish Options: Enhance your dessert with extra chocolate chips, a drizzle of caramel, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top when serving.
- Storage Hack: Cover the surface with plastic wrap directly touching the frozen yogurt to prevent ice crystals from forming.
