Okay- so here’s the deal. Last week when I shared with you those Game Day Crock Pot Brownies, I mentioned to you that I did something with them- aside from eating them right away. 🙂 Well- the thing is – I have been SERIOUSLY craving some sort of chocolate ice cream/frozen yogurt with brownie chunks for like A LONG TIME.
The hubs does most of the grocery shopping – so as many times through the summer that I have put this specific item on my list- it never makes it here. Yeah- I could gather the gang and head to the store & search for it myself.
I know. I’m sort of a spoiled brat in that regard. I tell him what I want or what I’m craving- he goes and gets it for me. That’s just how we have always done it.
So after being quite annoyed that I have yet to get my craving satisfied- I made the crock pot brownies with my main intention of taking half of them and making my own frozen treat. Which is where this Brownie Chunk Frozen Yogurt comes in.

Ingredients Notes
- Yogurt – Plain full-fat or Greek yogurt works best for a creamy texture. Greek yogurt adds extra thickness and tang. You can also use low-fat or non-dairy alternatives, but the texture may vary slightly.
- Sweetener – We are using sweetened condensed milk for this recipe to lightly sweeten the base. Adjust to taste depending on how sweet your brownies are.
- Vanilla Extract – A splash of vanilla enhances the overall flavor and balances the tanginess of the yogurt.
- Brownie Chunks – Use homemade or store-bought brownies. Fudgy brownies hold up best in frozen desserts. Cut them into small bite-sized chunks and freeze before mixing in for the best texture.

How to Make Brownie Chunk Frozen Yogurt
- In large bowl, combine the yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and vanilla. Whisk well.
- Whisk in the pudding packet- mixing well.
- Slowly add in melted chocolate chips – whisking while pouring.
- Once completely combined- fold in the brownie chunks.
- Transfer to airtight container & freeze at least 6 hours before serving.
Can I use store-bought brownies?
Yes! Store-bought brownies work great and save time. Just make sure they’re dense and fudgy so they hold up well when mixed in.
Do I need an ice cream maker?
An ice cream maker gives the best texture, but you can still make this recipe without one. Simply freeze the yogurt mixture in a shallow container, stirring every 30–60 minutes until it’s creamy and frozen.
Can I use Greek yogurt?
Absolutely. Greek yogurt gives a thicker, creamier texture and adds more protein. You may want to adjust the sweetener since Greek yogurt can be tangier.
How long does it keep in the freezer?
For best texture and flavor, enjoy within 1–2 weeks. After that, it may get icy, so let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes, you can use a dairy-free yogurt alternative and a vegan brownie recipe. The texture may be slightly different, but it will still be delicious.
How sweet is it?
It’s lightly sweetened to balance the tanginess of the yogurt and the richness of the brownies. Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your taste.
Expert Tips
- Use full-fat yogurt for creaminess
- Full-fat yogurt gives the richest texture and smoothest mouthfeel. Greek-style works especially well for a thicker result.
- Chill the yogurt base before churning
- Let your yogurt mixture chill for at least 1–2 hours before churning. A cold base helps it freeze faster and results in a creamier texture.
- Cut brownies into small chunks
- Smaller pieces mix in more evenly and are easier to scoop. Avoid overmixing to keep the chunks from breaking down too much.
- Freeze brownie chunks first
- Freezing the brownie pieces before folding them in helps them hold their shape and stay chewy rather than getting mushy.
- Add mix-ins at the end
- Always fold in the brownies after churning to preserve texture and prevent them from sinking or turning to crumbs.
- Let it soften before serving
- Frozen yogurt firms up a lot in the freezer. Let it sit at room temp for 5–10 minutes for easier scooping and best texture.
- Customize with extras
- Try adding swirls of fudge sauce, crushed nuts, or even chocolate chips to make it your own.

Holy cow, I can see why you resorted to making your own. Cravings like that are really more of a need. And I’m sure it tasted better than anything you could have gotten at the store 😉
Yeah- I could only handle it for so long- then I had to resort to just coming up with a different idea.
