- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp shredded sharp cheddar cheese

- 1 teaspoon vanilla

1.)Put the chocolate chips into a medium glass mixing bowl. Set aside.

Whisk constantly until the cocoa is dissolved and the mixture comes to a simmer, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour the milk mixture over the chocolate. Let stand for 5 minutes, then whisk gently until all the chocolate is melted. Whisk in the yogurt until smooth and blended, then cool completely.
