Chocolate, a little tang, and something lovely waiting in the fridge. These Chocolate Greek-Yogurt Cups are smooth and spoonable, with berries, walnuts, and unsweetened coconut on top.

The Greek yogurt brings its characteristic zing, while Isopure Low Carb Dutch Chocolate Whey Protein Isolate adds chocolate flavor and extra protein. I've used Isopure in similar recipes before; this updated combination is a variation on my original yogurt cup test.

Sweeten it for your palate

In my original test with unflavored whey, allulose alone wasn't quite sweet enough, so I added liquid stevia. Isopure Dutch Chocolate is already sweetened with sucralose, so taste the mixture before adding extra allulose or stevia.

Taste as you go. Liquid stevia products vary in strength, so start with a small amount according to the product's directions.

Choose the chocolate look you like

For the version shown here, the visual direction is a medium-brown Dutch-process cocoa. The very dark cocoa I used in my first test tasted good, but gave the yogurt an almost black-gray appearance.

The precise finished color will depend on your cocoa, yogurt, and protein powder. You are looking for a smooth chocolate mixture, with the visible texture coming from the toppings.

Keep the texture spoonable

I used half-and-half in my first test because that was what I had. Start with a small amount and add only what the mixture needs. You can always loosen it a little more.

Spoon it into a small glass cup, chill, and finish with your toppings. The walnuts and coconut were part of my test; berries are a lovely addition to the finished version.

Make the Yogurt

An optional collagen add-in

I also like adding the unflavored collagen powder I use regularly. I've stirred it into coffee and plenty of other things, and I love how seamlessly it blends in without changing the flavor.

This is an optional addition alongside the Isopure Dutch Chocolate protein powder.
