Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Frozen Yogurt Swirl:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

For Assembly:

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for drizzling)

Whipped cream or additional yogurt for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin liners for easy removal.

    Make the Brownie Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until they are thoroughly combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is well incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract to the mixture for flavor.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined; it's essential not to overmix, as you want the batter to remain thick and fudgy.

        Bake the Brownies: Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity approximately halfway. Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let them cool completely in the tin.

          Prepare the Frozen Yogurt Mixture: While the brownies are cooling, take a large bowl and whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If using mini chocolate chips, fold them gently into the yogurt mixture at this stage.

            Assemble the Rounds: Once the brownies have cooled, you can use a small round cookie cutter or a knife to cut them into rounds if you prefer (you can also leave them in squares). Place each brownie round back into the muffin tin for easier assembly.

              Add the Yogurt Swirl: Use a spoon to dollop the yogurt mixture onto the brownies, swirling lightly with a knife to create a marbled effect that is visually appealing.

                Freeze the Treats: Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and freeze the assembled brownies for at least 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt swirl is firm to the touch.

                  Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle: Before serving, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is perfectly smooth.

                    Serve Your Delights: Gently remove the frozen yogurt rounds from the muffin tin. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each round. Optionally, you can top them with whipped cream or an additional dollop of yogurt. Enjoy these delightful treats straight from the freezer for a refreshing dessert!
