Today we're treating ourselves to these healthy chocolate cream cups, an easy dessert you can make at home with defatted cocoa powder and skyr yogurt. We love the contrast between the rich, creamy base and the cool yogurt layer, and all it takes is a few simple steps and a little patience while it chills in the fridge.

Prep: 15 minCook: 10 minServes: 6

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you need

  • 1 liter skimmed milk (you can also use plant milk)
  • 3 or 4 tablespoons defatted unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon homemade date syrup
  • 6 gelatin sheets
  • Skyr yogurt
  • 1 square 85% dark chocolate

Step by step

Method

  1. 1Soak the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water.
  2. 2Meanwhile, bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat.
  3. 3Add the cocoa powder and date syrup.
  4. 4Whisk thoroughly until completely smooth and free of lumps.
  5. 5As soon as the milk starts to boil, squeeze out the excess water from the gelatin sheets and add them to the pan.
  6. 6Turn the heat down to low and stir well until the gelatin dissolves completely.
  7. 7Pour the mixture into glasses or ramekins and let cool before transferring them to the fridge.
  8. 8After at least 5 hours in the fridge, take them out to check if they've set (they shouldn't be firm like jelly, but thick and spoonable like a dense custard).
  9. 9Transfer the skyr into a piping bag and fill the rest of the glasses.
  10. 10Finally, grate a little dark chocolate over the top.
  11. 11And that's it! Our healthy chocolate cream cups are ready to enjoy.
