Making Homemade Chocolate Yogo at home is surprisingly easy.
You can make different flavours if you wish (see below) and you can reduce the sugar.
Or you can use a sugar substitute if you want to cut down.

Ingredients
4 tbsp Cocoa
4 tbsp Cornflour
1/2 cup Castor Sugar
800 ml Milk
Directions
- Sift dry ingredients together and mix with 300ml of the milk.
- Meanwhile, bring to the boil the remaining 500ml of milk.
- Whisk in the chocolately milk.
- Continue whisking on low heat until it thickens (can take up to 5 minutes).
- Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic film so it touches the top of the yogo and pop it into the fridge until it cools.
Notes
- Homemade Chocolate Yogo can be frozen, it tastes like a Chocolate Paddlepop! However it does tend to separate a little on defrosting – so it will need a good stir. Can be frozen for up to two weeks.
- For a strawberry version, substitute the cocoa and half the sweetener for two tablespoons of strawberry Quik.
- Homemade chocolate yogo can be kept in the fridge in a sealed air tight container for up to three days.

This recipe was an instant hit. My kids, the kids up the road, my friends kids, sisters, brothers, grandparents; everyone was making orders. I’ve made enough in the last three weeks to become a pro, next I’m going to try to make some banana to satisfy my daughters flavour of the week.
Maybe I’ll try a rainbow paddle pop, hmmm.
Thank you for this awesome contribution.
If you use Nestle Baking Cocoa..change amount of Cocoa to 2 1/2 tablespoons as it is really strong if you use 4. Or you can melt some chocolate and use that. I ve tried half dark and half milk before and it tasted exactly like yogo.
Ive been making this for years. We have it hot with ice cream. Never seems to get too the fridge to go cold
Sounds lovely 😉
Mine stayed runny – any ideas on what i did wrong? I did put more milk in the chocolate bit by accident so put less in the milk-only bit; could that be it?
Sounds like you didn’t cook it for long enough Ashleigh – keep it on the heat whisking until it thickens.
Trying it right now hope I get it right lol
Omg that is so easy I did it with Milo instead of cocoa and microwaved it for 5 min stirring after 2 and a half mins , kids love it !!
My kids love it but we use arrowroot not cornflour 🙂
Omg! I love it! I just made it 2day and was an instant hit with my kids! I even made banana with real banana half over ripe banana and half ripe 😉 mmm.. Then I also made a strawberry one with real strawberries and cut them up real fine and tastes great when u get the little pieces in each spoon full thanks for a great recipe n idea! I might even try coffee flavoured for the adults! 😉
What can you use in place of corn flour? My daughter is allergic to corn
Hi! You can use custard powder instead. Just check the ingredients for corn (the brand we checked didn’t have corn in it)!
