I love this 2-ingredient chocolate frosting recipe so much.
It’s a variation of a recipe I saw in the New York Times but I gave it a Foodlets update (which always means it’s either faster, healthier or cuter and in this case, it’s the second one. #healthierfoodforkids)
What you need to make 2-ingredient chocolate buttercream frosting
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup full fat Greek yogurt
How to make healthier 2-ingredient chocolate frosting
Ready for the instructions? Because it’s gonna go quick.
- Melt chocolate chips.
- Mix in full fat Greek yogurt.
End.
The result is rich, creamy and tangy. Like cream cheese buttercream with a little protein punch.
TIPS:
- If you’re not into tangy, or “lemony” as my kids described it, use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- For the chocolate chocolate chip version here, don’t melt all the chocolate chips completely. (About 30 seconds less in the microwave than you’d want for the regular version.)

- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge. If using later, allow frosting to come to room temperature before trying to spread. It’ll work much better!
