Strawberry Yogurt Cream Cups with Chocolate Shavings

Ingredients** (Makes 6–8 cups)

  • 2 cups strawberry yogurt (full-fat or Greek for creaminess)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 4 tbsp powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk (optional, for extra richness)
  • ½ cup dark chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips
  • 6–8 small plastic dessert cups

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream
    In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Don’t overbeat — it should be fluffy but not stiff.
  2. Mix Yogurt & Flavorings
    In another bowl, combine the strawberry yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk (if using). Mix until smooth.
  3. Fold the Cream In
    Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture using a spatula. Do this slowly to maintain the airy texture.
  4. Add the Chocolate
    Fold in the chocolate shavings or mini chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour into Cups
    Spoon the mixture into individual plastic dessert cups, filling each to the top.
  6. Chill
    Refrigerate the cups for at least 4 hours, or until firm and cold. You can also freeze them for 1 hour if you want a more ice cream-like texture.
  7. Serve & Enjoy
    Serve as is, or garnish with extra chocolate, whipped cream, or sliced strawberries.

Tips

  • You can replace strawberry yogurt with any fruit-flavored yogurt: mango, blueberry, or raspberry all work great.
  • Add a crushed biscuit base at the bottom of each cup if you want a cheesecake-style dessert.
  • Make it healthier by using low-fat yogurt and skipping the condensed milk.

Benefits

  • No baking needed — quick and easy.
  • Rich in probiotics from yogurt.
  • Refreshing & light, perfect for summer.
  • Kid-friendly and party-friendly.

History

This type of creamy dessert is inspired by classic yogurt mousse cups, which originated from European no-bake sweets combining dairy and fruit. The modern twist of adding chocolate brings a delightful texture to the mix.

Conclusion

These Strawberry Yogurt Cream Cups are not only beautiful but super satisfying — creamy, chocolaty, and fruity all in one bite! Great for family gatherings, brunches, or just an everyday sweet treat with zero fuss.
