FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, regular yogurt works, but Greek yogurt gives a thicker texture and higher protein content, making the dish creamier and more satisfying.

Is this recipe suitable for a vegan diet?

You can make it vegan by using plant-based yogurt and a vegan-friendly sweetener like maple syrup. Just ensure the cocoa powder contains no milk additives.
