  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 bowl

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • ¾ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon chocolate protein powder

Chocolate Magic Shell

  • 2 tablespoon chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoon coconut oil

Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon crushed candy canes
  • 3 tablespoon chocolate granola

Instructions

  1. Mix Greek Yogurt and Protein Powder: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and chocolate protein powder until fully combined and smooth. Use the back of a spoon to spread the mixture evenly in the bowl to create a smooth, flat layer.
  2. Melt Chocolate Magic Shell: In a small microwave-safe dish, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well after each, until the chocolate mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Apply Chocolate Layer: Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the yogurt base. Gently spread it with a spoon to cover the yogurt completely in an even layer.
  4. Add Crushed Candy Canes and Chill: Sprinkle the crushed candy canes evenly over the chocolate layer, then place the bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate hardens to form the magic shell.
  5. Top and Serve: Once the chocolate shell is set, remove from the freezer and sprinkle the chocolate granola on top. Use a spoon to break the hardened chocolate shell before enjoying your dessert-inspired yogurt bowl.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative and ensure the protein powder is vegan-friendly.
  • Microwave times may vary, so watch the chocolate carefully to prevent burning.
  • You can store the prepared bowl in the freezer for up to 1 hour before serving to keep the magic shell intact.
  • Use high-quality peppermint candy canes for a more intense flavor.
  • If preferred, you can melt the chocolate and coconut oil using a double boiler instead of a microwave.
