DIY Chocolate Frozen Yogurt

Making your own frozen yogurt at home is not only super yummy, but it obviously won’t contain junky or artificial additives like all the popular fro-yo shops out there. This recipe does contain some added sugar, which definitely makes it a “treat” in our book. But we think that’s okay on occasion, especially when it’s homemade!

Sponsor Shoutout: Enjoy Life

I used Enjoy Life chocolate in this frozen yogurt recipe, and I want to tell you why we are fans. When they make their chocolate they only use ingredients that are supposed to be in chocolate. It’s amazing how many companies put in artificial and other additives that don’t belong.

This means Enjoy Life chocolate is allergy-friendly (free of all 14 major allergens) and also vegan, gluten-free and even paleo for those who need it. It’s perfect for when you’re feeding a crowd—seems like so many people have allergies or special dietary needs these days. We actually used Enjoy Life at our daughters’ Halloween Party (melted in a chocolate fountain, which was a big hit), and it was so nice to know anyone could safely dig in!

Enjoy Life chocolate chips are easy to find. I typically pick them up at Whole Foods, but you can also find them at Target, Walmart, Rite-Aid, and even CVS stores.
