Mocha Coffee Yogurt is easy to make. A healthy and nutritious way to combine coffee with yogurt.
Thick, creamy, and the perfect blend of coffee and chocolate. It’s like a double dose of coffee in the morning. The best yogurt for breakfast ever!

Rich coffee, a touch of chocolate, and creamy yogurt—all in one spoonful. It’s the perfect way to start your morning and a great afternoon pick-me-up, too. This easy recipe gives you a caffeine fix with the added health benefits of yogurt.
Going to the coffee shop and having a cafe mocha latte is one of my favourite things to do, along with a slice of coffee cake too. The chocolate and coffee flavour combination is so delicious.
I even love adding coffee flavour in baking. Chewy Cookies are seriously addictive. Need a great gluten-free treat? Baked Chocolate Chile Mocha Donut are fun to make.
If you are a coffee lover, then the combination of coffee and chocolate in this chocolate latte is sure to please. The secret ingredient is hot chocolate milk.
Coffee And Yogurt Ingredients
You only need 3 things!
- plain yogurt
- instant espresso powder
- cocoa powder
I got this idea after tasting a store-bought version. You will be amazed at how easy it is to make.
If you have ever tasted the Vietnamese yogurt coffee drink called Sua Chua Cafe, you know how delicious yogurt in coffee can be. Now, switch it up and put coffee in yogurt.
Making Mocha Coffee Yogurt At Home
This recipe is super easy to make. Full instructions are in the recipe card.
- Measure all the ingredients into a bowl.
- Mix.
- Eat.
You can easily adjust the mocha flavour by increasing or decreasing the amount of espresso powder and cocoa powder you use.
What Is Skyr?
A super thick, high protein, low-fat yogurt. Classed as a fresh sour milk cheese, it is made with skim milk.
A traditional Icelandic breakfast would be mixing equal amounts of Skyr and porridge (oatmeal). It can be mixed with fruit as a healthy dessert option. I have used it in place of sour cream too.
Other great options are Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla flavoured) or any non-dairy yogurt you like.
Add-Ins
Plain yogurt is tart for sure. I like it, but hubby does not. I find the vanilla flavoured is the perfect sweetness for me.
To make it sweeter you can add a bit of:
- honey
- maple syrup
- coconut sugar
- agave nectar
I find just the addition of fresh berries will sweeten things up. You can add:
- strawberries
- blueberries
- raspberries
- blackberries
It doesn’t have to stop with berries. Other fruit will work too. Try some of these:
- bananas
- mango
- peaches
- nectarines
- pineapple
- apples
- pears
- fresh figs
If you haven’t been shopping, and fresh fruit is not in the house, you can use frozen fruit (although I find frozen is more tart). If that doesn’t work, add some:
- dried figs
- dates
- a bit of any type of fruit jam
Homemade granola is the best. For another topping idea try this Easy Muesli Recipe. If you are in the holiday season Festive Crunchy Granola is a great choice.
Talking about delicious breakfast ideas, have you tried Smashed Avocado on Toast? I could eat this for any meal of the day.

Wondering if you can just use instant coffee instead of expresso powder?
Gloria Duggan | Homemade & Yummy
Sure, you might need to adjust the amount to your liking.

Can’t wait to try this. I haven’t been able find my favorite Dannon coffee yogurt in the grocery stores for the last six weeks and I’ve a “longing” for my yogurt! I have some vanilla yogurt so may try to “doctor” it with these suggested ingredients. This sounds soooo promising!

I know….that is WHY I made this recipe….and now it is my favourite.

I remember going absolutely bananas over mocha coffee yogurt years ago, but it was a store-bought brand and full of sugar. I love the idea of making it myself. I’m usually mowing down plain Greek yogurt, and I totally forgot about coffee yogurt over the years! Now I’m craving it 🙂
Gloria | Homemade & Yummy
I know right? Making it at home is so much better. I hope you give this recipe a try. I know you will love it.

Wow this was even better than it sounds. I would have NEVER thought to flip the cafe mocha and add the powdered espresso to the yogurt, but it makes prefect sense. I can’t wait to try out lots of different fruit combinations and a vanilla yogurt!

You will be hooked on this for sure. ENJOY!
