❓ Q/A Section
Q1: Is this good for Weight Watchers?
A: Yes! It uses Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream, making it lower in calories and higher in protein.
Q2: How many WW points per serving?
A: Around 4–6 points, depending on the brands of yogurt, chocolate chips, and syrup you use.
Q3: Can I make it sugar-free?
A: Absolutely!
Use sugar-free chips, syrup, and a zero-calorie sweetener to reduce points even more.
Q4: Why does the ice cream get hard in the freezer?
A: Yogurt freezes more solid than cream.
Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving—it softens perfectly.
Q5: Can I add fruit?
A: Yes! Strawberries, bananas, or raspberries pair beautifully with chocolate and add volume without many extra points.
Q6: Can I make it without a freezer?
A: Yes, if you have an ice cream maker, it will churn in about 20 minutes.
Q7: Does it taste like regular chocolate ice cream?
A: It’s slightly tangier because of the yogurt, but very chocolatey.
For extra creaminess, add 2 tbsp lite cream cheese—it becomes richer and smoother.
