A light and fluffy hot cocoa dip made with Greek yogurt and marshmallow fluff. This quick and easy dessert dip is perfect for cozy nights and is a healthier take on a classic treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or cayenne (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until light and airy.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of marshmallow fluff to the whipped yogurt and mix on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Do not overmix.
  3. In a separate small bowl, sift together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add the sifted cocoa mixture to the yogurt-fluff mixture and gently fold with a rubber spatula until no white streaks remain.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and fold gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (optional but recommended for best texture).
  7. Before serving, garnish with mini chocolate chips or a dusting of cocoa powder. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with dippers of choice.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature yogurt and sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps. The dip can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator. If the dip becomes too thick after chilling, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes or stir in a splash of milk.
