If you’ve been craving a creamy, indulgent dessert but still want to stick to your Weight Watchers plan, this Chocolate Ice Cream recipe is about to blow your mind! It’s thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious, and the best part? It’s only 2 points per serving! You won’t believe how easy it is to make, and it tastes just as good (if not better!) than the store-bought versions.
This homemade ice cream is made with simple, healthy ingredients, and the secret to its rich texture is using fat-free Greek yogurt as a base. The Greek yogurt gives it that creamy, smooth mouthfeel while keeping it light and full of protein. By adding unsweetened cocoa powder and a sugar substitute like Stevia or Splenda, you get all the chocolatey goodness without the added sugar and excess calories. A dash of vanilla extract and salt enhances the flavor, giving it that decadent ice cream taste.
What’s amazing about this recipe is that you can adjust the sweetness to your taste, and you don’t even need an ice cream maker! The recipe comes together in just a few simple steps, and the hardest part is waiting for it to freeze. It’s perfect for a low-calorie treat on a hot day or whenever you’re craving something sweet.
Weight Watchers Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fat-free Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar substitute (like Stevia, Splenda, or your preferred sweetener, adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for added texture and flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk everything together until smooth and well-combined. Make sure there are no lumps from the cocoa powder.
- Taste and Adjust:
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed. If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, add a little more sweetener to suit your taste.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Once the mixture is smooth and well-sweetened, pour it into a freezer-safe container. If you want to add mini chocolate chips, sprinkle them on top of the mixture before freezing (optional, but adds a nice touch).
- Freeze:
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results. The texture will become thick and creamy, just like store-bought ice cream.
- Serve:
- Once frozen, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy! It’s thick, creamy, and has that rich chocolate flavor you love. If it’s too hard straight from the freezer, let it sit out for a few minutes to soften.
- Optional Garnishes:
- You can top your ice cream with a few extra chocolate chips, a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup, or even a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream for a more indulgent treat.
