Rocky Road Yogurt

Four ingredients, zero cooking, and a freezer. That’s the entire recipe for this rocky road frozen yogurt that kids go absolutely wild over. Stir raisins, mini marshmallows, and a swirl of chocolate syrup into softened yogurt, then freeze it until it hits that sweet spot between soft-serve and ice cream.

The marshmallows stay slightly chewy even after freezing, which gives you that rocky road texture without any nuts. The raisins add little bursts of fruity sweetness between the chocolate-laced bites. Use any flavor yogurt you like, but vanilla or chocolate work best as a base.

Pull it from the freezer a few minutes before serving. Frozen yogurt gets harder than ice cream because it has less fat, so that short counter rest brings it back to a scoopable texture.

Kitchen Tips

• Stir the mixture once or twice during freezing to break up ice crystals and keep the texture creamy
• Use full-fat yogurt for the creamiest results, or stick with low-fat if you want to keep it lighter
• Freeze in individual cups or ramekins for easy, pre-portioned servings

Variations

• Add chopped peanuts or almonds for a classic rocky road with crunch
• Use strawberry yogurt and swap the raisins for fresh strawberry pieces
• Drizzle extra chocolate syrup on top after scooping for a sundae-style finish
