Ingredients You’ll Need
1. Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt creates the creamy base for these chocolate gummies. Use plain Greek yogurt for a less sweet result, or choose a variety you already enjoy.
2. Cocoa Powder
Cocoa powder provides the chocolate flavor. Mix it thoroughly with the yogurt to help create a smooth, evenly colored mixture.
3. Gelatin
Gelatin helps the mixture set into a gummy texture after chilling. This recipe uses grass-fed gelatin, but follow the preparation instructions on your chosen product if they differ.
4. Water
Water is used to hydrate the gelatin before blending it into the yogurt mixture.
Optional Sweetener
Add 2–3 tablespoons of raw honey or your preferred sweetener if you want a sweeter chocolate flavor. Start with less and adjust to your preference.
Chocolate Yogurt Gummies Recipe
Prep time: About 10 minutes
Chilling time: Overnight
Total time: About 8 hours or overnight
Yield: Depends on the size of your molds
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2–3 tablespoons raw honey or preferred sweetener (optional)
- A little coconut oil for greasing the molds
Instructions
Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin
Add the water to a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let it sit until the gelatin absorbs the water and becomes hydrated.
Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Yogurt Base
Add the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and optional sweetener to a blender. Blend until the mixture looks smooth and the cocoa powder is evenly incorporated.
Step 3: Add the Gelatin
Add the hydrated gelatin to the blender. Blend again until everything is well combined and no visible lumps remain.
If the gelatin has become too firm to blend smoothly, prepare it according to the product instructions before adding it. Avoid overheating the yogurt mixture.
Step 4: Prepare the Silicone Molds
Lightly grease your silicone molds with coconut oil. A thin coating is enough to help make removing the gummies easier.
Step 5: Fill the Molds
Pour the chocolate yogurt mixture into the prepared molds. Work carefully to avoid spills, and distribute the mixture evenly.
Step 6: Refrigerate Until Set
Place the molds in the refrigerator and leave them overnight, or until the gummies are fully set.
Step 7: Remove and Serve
Gently remove the gummies from the molds. Keep them refrigerated until you’re ready to serve.
Tips for Making Chocolate Yogurt Gummies
- Blend thoroughly: This helps distribute the cocoa powder and gelatin throughout the yogurt.
- Taste before chilling: If you’re using a sweetener, adjust it before pouring the mixture into the molds.
- Grease the molds lightly: Too much coconut oil is unnecessary; a thin coating should be sufficient.
- Allow enough chilling time: The gummies need time to set completely. If they’re still too soft, return them to the refrigerator.
- Keep them cold: These gummies are intended to be stored in the refrigerator rather than left at room temperature for extended periods.

How to Store Chocolate Yogurt Gummies

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Chocolate Yogurt Gummies Need to Be Refrigerated?
Yes. These gummies rely on gelatin to set and contain Greek yogurt, so they should be kept refrigerated.
Can I Make These Gummies Without Honey?
Yes. Honey is optional. You can leave it out or use another sweetener that suits your preference.
Can I Use a Different Type of Yogurt?
Plain Greek yogurt is the starting point for this recipe. Other yogurts may have different thicknesses and moisture levels, so the final texture may vary.
Are These Chocolate Yogurt Gummies Vegan?
No. The recipe uses gelatin, which is animal-derived. To make a vegan version, you would need a suitable plant-based setting ingredient and a reformulated method; the result may have a different texture.
Why Didn’t My Gummies Set Properly?
They may need more chilling time, or the gelatin may not have been hydrated or incorporated properly. Check the instructions on your gelatin package and make sure the mixture is thoroughly combined before filling the molds.
Can I Freeze Chocolate Yogurt Gummies?
The original recipe recommends refrigeration for up to 5 days and does not specify freezing. Since freezing may affect the texture of yogurt-based gummies, refrigeration is the recommended storage method for this version.
