2 Ingredient Chocolate Yogurt Pudding

This 2 Ingredient Chocolate Yogurt Pudding is made with dark chocolate and Greek yogurt for a rich, creamy dessert. After chilling, it becomes smooth and thick, somewhere between pudding and chocolate mousse.

I love recipes like this because they prove that a long ingredient list isn't always necessary. Sometimes the simplest combinations create the best results, and this dessert is a perfect example. 

A friend once served me a chocolate dessert after dinner and spent several minutes describing how simple it was. I expected a long list of ingredients or some special technique, but when she finally explained it, I was surprised by how little went into it. That memory came back the first time I made this recipe. Watching melted chocolate blend into thick Greek yogurt felt almost too simple, yet the result looked and tasted like something far more elaborate. 

Now it has become one of the desserts I make whenever I want something sweet without turning on the oven. It works well for a quick weeknight dessert, but it also feels special enough to serve when friends come over. The chocolate provides richness, while the Greek yogurt keeps the texture light and creamy. If you enjoy easy desserts like my No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake, Peanut Butter Mousse, or Lemon Mousse, this recipe belongs on your list too.

Key Ingredients in Chocolate Yogurt Pudding

You'll find the exact measurements in the recipe card, but here's a closer look at key ingredients and why I use them.

• Chocolate & Yogurt: I use dark chocolate and Greek yogurt because together they create a rich, creamy dessert with a deep chocolate flavor and a smooth texture. 
• Optional Finish: I like dusting the top with unsweetened cocoa powder for an extra chocolate touch and a simple presentation.

Helpful Swaps

• Use milk chocolate for a sweeter dessert.  
• Try vanilla Greek yogurt for a slightly different flavor.  
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor. 

How to Make Chocolate Yogurt Pudding

You can find the complete printable recipe with measurements below, but for now, here's a quick overview of how it goes:

1. Prepare the Yogurt: Stir the Greek yogurt in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.

2. Melt the Chocolate: Finely chop the dark chocolate, then microwave it in short intervals, stirring between each one, until melted and smooth.

3. Mix Everything Together: Pour the melted chocolate into the yogurt and mix until thick, silky, and fully combined.

4. Chill and Serve: Divide between 4 serving bowls, smooth the tops, refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then dust with unsweetened cocoa powder if desired and serve cold.

Storage

I like to keep this chocolate yogurt pudding covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. The texture stays thick and creamy, and the chocolate flavor becomes even better after a few hours of chilling.

Instructions

• Add 2 cups (500 g) Greek yogurt to a large mixing bowl and stir until smooth and creamy.
• Finely chop 7 oz (200 g) dark chocolate and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
• Pour the melted chocolate into the yogurt and mix until fully combined, smooth, and thick.
• Divide the mixture evenly between serving glasses or ramekins and smooth the tops.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until chilled and set.
• Serve cold. Dust with cocoa powder if desired.

Notes

Use Thick Greek Yogurt: I like using thick Greek yogurt because it creates a richer texture and helps the dessert set beautifully after chilling. 

Choose a Chocolate You Enjoy Eating: Since chocolate is one of only two ingredients, its flavor makes a big difference. I usually use a good-quality dark chocolate for the best taste. 

Mix Thoroughly: I make sure there are no streaks left in the bowl. A fully blended mixture gives the smoothest texture. 

Chill Before Serving: The pudding becomes thicker and creamier after an hour in the fridge, so I always give it time to chill before serving.
