I need help. I made chocolate frosting with Greek yogurt and it looks beautiful, but it tastes kinda sour. How to I combat that? I used plenty stevia and a little salt. I didn't use vanilla, will that help? Ingredients: About a cup of yogurt 3 heading tbsp cocoa powder 3 good shakes of stevia (probably about 2tsp)
Then I whipped it together until it looked like frosting. I'm not huge chocolate person, so adding more chocolate won't really work because then it would be way too chocolatey. Any other tips would be wonderful, though. TIA!!

2tsp of stevia sounds like quite alot. Was it pure stevia? Sounds like it'd be bitter. I might try ground truvia instead. Definitely add the vanilla. Maybe a little cream cheese?

Yah now that I think of it I don't think it was quite that much stevia. Probably not even 1/4 tsp. But I'll try the vanilla and cream cheese. Thank you

I find that using yogurt for chocolate goodies usually gives it an off taste, that might just be me. Cream cheese probably has a better flavour.

I have started buying Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese...it's not sour at all and it's nice and think like cream cheese. It has less fat and more protein than the Neufchatel reduced fat cream cheese

Hi. Just agreeing that I find yoghurt and chocolate don't go. The tang with the chocolate doesn't work for me. I go cream cheese for chocolate. And keep berries and lemon for yoghurt.
