FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but Greek yogurt provides a thicker, creamier texture and higher protein content. Regular yogurt will be thinner and less rich.

Can I substitute cocoa powder with chocolate syrup?

You can, but cocoa powder keeps the dessert low in added sugars and gives a richer chocolate flavor. Using syrup may make it sweeter and less intense.
