This was refreshing and delish!! Had to use Lilly’s no sugar chocolate chips as that is all I had. Definitely curbs that crave for something sweet after dinner. I only made a small amount to see if I would like it. Ended up having 2nds and tossed some blueberries on there too. Thanks for the recipe!!
So glad you enjoyed it! Good idea to use the chocolate chips.
Man, this looks so good! Definitely going to give it a try!
Hope you enjoy!
Obviously use any yogurt you prefer!
Well, now I will be on a serious mission to get hazelnut agave nectar. I love hazelnuts and this dessert has everything going for it!
Valentine's is over, but life goes on! 😉
Lydia, for something that's so simple, it's really so good!
Proof that a great dessert need not be complicated, fattening, or baked! I love this idea.
Becky I don't know how hard it is to find, but it's delicious!
okay, the fact that I've never tried hazelnut agave is startling!! I adore hazelnut anything but have yet to try that! Thanks for the tip and great recipe idea!
This looks delicious. Similar to Chobani's new espresso-chocolate bite yogurt (except for the sweetener). I would definitely add a little espresso to this, as coffee and chocolate are a dream combination for me.
Kalyn, this looks and sounds delicious! Great combination of flavors. I have a hard time getting my husband to eat yogurt and this may just do the trick! Thanks for sharing.
Donna, you're welcome. I do think there is a lot of misinformation on the internet, and I always try to read all sides of an issue before I decide.
Thanks for your reply, Kalyn. I am always interested in knowing truth, and having a fuller understanding about new information. I am reading the links you posted. Appreciate it!
One of my VERY favorite desserts is Fage non-fat plain yogurt with almond extract, stevia natural no-calorie sweetener, with coarsely chopped almonds. Adding grated dark chocolate to make a mini-almond joy experience would be amazing! Thanks for the idea!
Hey Kayln,
This dessert looks amazing. I've been to Greece, yet never tried their dessert. I'll have to make it soon. Thanks!
Debbie, would you believe I went to Greece and never had Greek yogurt even once. That was 10 years ago, and now I’m dying to go back so I can have it there. I agree, the Fage brand is the best I’ve had.
Kalyn,
Before this past summer I had never tried Greek yogurt. I was in Greece for a couple of weeks and fell in love with the yogurt and had it with honey almost every morning at breakfast.
When I returned home, I was on a mission to find Greek yogurts. My local grocery store stocks several brands but I am partial to the Fage brand even though it is a little more expensive. Every time I eat it I have memories of my trip to Greece. Now I can’t wait to try your recipe.
Debbie
I absolutely love Fage…this sounds amazing- thanks Kalyn!
Yogurt is so rife in the Greek cuisine – used for desserts, condiment, marinade, snack or breakfast! I should try this agave…why not reduce sugar, right?
Thank you for the link to the homemade yogurt recipe. It’s courtesy of my mom and it’s a good one.
Kalyn, this dessert looks so appetizing. It caught my eye on Photograzing and I had to drop by and see what you were up to. It sounds delicious and perfect for Valentine’s Day!
I definitely haven’t been waiting for Valentine’s Day myself; had some of this again for the third time.
Llyn, I do try to be aware of the fact that not everyone will have special ingredients, thanks for noticing!
Shari, love the hazelnut agave!
Hazelnut Agave Nectar sounds delicious! I’ll have to look for that.
Hi Kalyn,
I love Greek Yogurt Dessert with Hazelnut Agave and Shaved Dark Chocolate…yummy! The recipe is great. And i like the fact that when i’m having a hard time finding some ingredients you’ve got an alternative way on how to make it on my own. Thanks Kalyn.
Awesome dessert!! This looks so simple and yummy. Why wait for Valentine’s Day to enjoy it??? 🙂
Love it!!! I have greek yogurt a couple times of day everyday!!
That looks good! I enjoy serving greek yogurt with honey and walnuts.
But everyone gets to make their own food choices. And this comment is from 10 years ago so no need to correct them.
Oooooh.. that's a keeper. You've inspired me to search it out in my town & I'm off to the store. Thanks!
I bookmarked this from title alone!!
What an incredible dessert! I love hazelnut everything!!
Kalyn, these look soooooo good! 🙂 I love healthy recipes that still feel like an indulgence. Thank you so much for all your fabulous recipes and ideas
I am looking forward to trying out the hazelnut agave – also wondering what the process is like for creating the infusion? It’s easy to grasp olive oil, but the agave is a bit sticky and a lot thicker – you’ve totally got me thinking!!
Hmm, Greek yogurt with chocolate? What a combination, I have to try that now!!
wowww 🙂
Tanna, it definitely did it for me (two nights in a row, he he he. Must do that blog research!)
Hazelnut Flavored Agave Nectar . . . really that sounds interesting. Greek Yogurt is great with just about anything. And chocolate, that should just about put it over the top.
