Raspberry and Chocolate Brownie
Are cool summer treats on anyone else’s mind? Because they sure have been on mine lately! Yesterday I was craving ice cream (I can never get enough), and since we are finally starting to warm back up, I’ve been brainstorming different ideas for frozen summer desserts.
Why? Because we all deserve sweet treats that ALSO cool us off in the summer, am I right?
I really enjoy this brownie and raspberry frozen yogurt dessert because:
- There’s chocolate in it…
- There’s fruit in it…
- And I really love chocolate paired with fruit. This recipe was made for me (literally).
I wanted this to be an easy dessert, so there’s no labor-intensive ice cream maker or anything over here, folks. No churning or freezing individual layers either! This raspberry and chocolate brownie dessert is easy, yummy, and refreshing!

Key Ingredients to Make Raspberry Frozen Yogurt with Brownies
- BROWNIE LAYER – Here you’ll need all of the basic brownie ingredients you know and love:
- Sugar
- Flour
- Cocoa Powder
- Salt
- Baking Powder
- Melted Butter
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- FROZEN YOGURT LAYER – Making frozen yogurt at home is insanely easy… at least my method is! All I do is take regular yogurt and then freeze it. Here’s what I use:
- Greek Yogurt
- Raspberry Jam
- Fresh Raspberries
- WHIPPED CREAM LAYER – A note to let you know that you can always use Cool Whip instead of homemade if you’d like! That said, I will usually make a quick whipped cream from scratch with:
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Powdered Sugar
- TOPPINGS – You can add whatever toppings you like to your raspberry and chocolate brownie recipe! I like to add hot fudge for drizzling and a bunch of extra raspberries.
How to Make My Raspberry Brownie Frozen Yogurt Dessert
RECIPE PREP: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
When lining your baking pan (I use 9×13-inch) with foil, leave some extra to overhang on the sides. That will allow you to pull your frozen dessert out of the pan easily after freezing, plus it’ll be easier to cut!
MAKE THE BROWNIE BASE: Add all of your dry ingredients to a large bowl and combine with a wire whisk. Add in the wet ingredients and stir until it’s just combined. Spread it in your pan, bake it for 15 minutes, and then let it cool completely.
PREPARE THE FROZEN YOGURT: While your brownies are cooking, you can combine the Greek yogurt with the raspberry jam until it’s blended, then carefully fold in the raspberries. Once the brownies are cooled, you can spoon this layer evenly across the top of the brownies.
MAKE THE WHIPPED CREAM: In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then spread this on top of the yogurt layer.
FREEZE TO SET: Freeze your brownie recipe with raspberries and frozen yogurt for 4-5 hours, or until firm. The freezing step will take the longest, but your patience will be rewarded with this dreamy frozen raspberry brownie dessert! Plus, if you time it right, you can make it a few hours before your party and pull it out at the perfect time to enjoy it!
FAQ
Absolutely! You can use a boxed brownie mix to save time if you need to. Just follow the package directions and bake according to the recommended baking time. Remember to let it cool completely before adding the yogurt layer.
Sure thing! Frozen fruit would work great here as we’re freezing the final product. You won’t even need to thaw them first!
You don’t have to, but I prefer its consistency over regular yogurt. It’s thicker and creamier and will help your dessert hold its shape better. If you do opt for regular yogurt, keep in mind it might be slightly softer when frozen.
This raspberry and chocolate brownie dessert will keep for up to 2 months in the freezer! You may want to make one to have on hand for any last-minute guests and/or parties.
How to Serve This Frozen Brownie Recipe with Raspberries
To serve your fruity frozen yogurt brownie dessert, pull it out of the pan using the foil handles and then cut it into 12 squares. Then you can either enjoy it as is, top with hot fudge sauce, and/or top with extra raspberries if desired.
Now, it’s time to devour! Or savor…whichever works. If you post about your own raspberry brownie frozen yogurt dessert, make sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see! I love to hear all of your feedback.
