Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Yogurt Swirl:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite flavored yogurt)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional: Fresh berries or chocolate chips for added flavor

For Garnish:

Chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder

Fresh mint leaves (for decoration)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan lightly, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

    Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl, blend the melted butter with the granulated sugar until well mixed. Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract.

      Combine Dry and Wet Components: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense brownies.

        Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the lined baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.

          Prepare the Yogurt Swirl: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with your choice of honey (or maple syrup) and the vanilla extract. Mix until the yogurt is smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey. If desired, gently fold in fresh berries or chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor.

            Create the Swirl: Once the brownies are completely cooled, cut them into equal squares and transfer them to a serving platter. Dollop a generous spoonful of the yogurt mixture on top of each brownie square. Using a toothpick or small knife, gently swirl the yogurt into the brownie to create a marbled effect, being careful not to blend them completely.

              Freeze: Place the platter in the freezer and let the rounds freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the yogurt is firm to the touch.

                Serve: After freezing, remove the rounds from the freezer. Allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving. For an aesthetically pleasing presentation, garnish with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder, and add fresh mint leaves on top for a vibrant touch.

                  Enjoy your Frozen Yogurt Brownie Swirl Rounds, a delightful treat that is perfect for hot days!
