Our Thermomix Yogo takes just a few minutes to make... and tastes just like the store-bought yogo! Made from 4 ingredients - chocolate, milk, egg and cornflour!
This simple yogo recipe is a firm favourite in our house. It's quick and easy to make... and is free from all the additives and preservatives in store-bought yogo. It's a delicious treat that kids (and adults!) will love.
What You Need To Make Thermomix Yogo
- chocolate (I like to use milk chocolate)
- full cream milk
- egg
- cornflour (or you can substitute it for arrowroot/tapioca flour)
... that's it! Just 4 ingredients!
Small Batch Yogo (can be doubled)
As I've only got 1 little 3 year old at home, I like to follow this recipe as it makes the perfect amount of yogo for us. It makes about 6-8 small servings.
However, you can absolutely double this recipe if you're feeding a larger family (or older kids)! Simply add another 2-3 minutes cooking time.
How To Stop A 'Skin' Forming On Top
Once you've made the yogo, it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Once it starts to cool, it will develop a 'skin' on the top (just like custard does). To avoid this from happening, simply press a sheet of plastic wrap/cling wrap directly on top of the yogo.

Hello, can i make it in a big container, then when cold can i put it in small dessert jars ? Or straight into the small jars. Just wanting to avoid the skin 🙂
Lauren Matheson says
Hi, you can transfer to smaller containers 🙂
Nina M. says
Yummy! Used Noshu sugar free chocolate melts and it tastes soo good. Toddler (& Mum!) approved!
Katrina says
Has anyone used peppermint chocolate block- instead of regular chocolate? Did it taste any good?
Cindy says
So yummy and incredibly easy!
Court says
Roughly how long will this last if kept in the fridge? Does it get a “skin” like custard? 🙂 thanks!
Lucy says
Hi Court, yes it will form a skin when placed in the fridge. Simply place cling wrap on the top of the yogo to stop a skin forming. We recommend consuming within 2 days.
Krystal says
I added a little bit more milk at the end of cooking to thin it out a little and didn’t get a skin at all.
Sarah-Jane says
Absolutely amazing!! I used triple the amount and added 3 minutes to the time. Everyone loved it...
Jes says
Has anyone tried making this with Carob?
Kristy Stiles says
Hi everyone!!! I made this with almond milk and tapioca flour today... as the dairy/gluten substitution. It tasted delicious!!
Lucy says
Fantastic!
Samantha says
Thank you for the info! I have a GF and DF child and I’m still learning what can be substituted.
Alison says
As a yogo recipe, I didn't think it tasted like yogo. But it did taste like chocolate pudding. I think it's the egg. It was nice none the less.
Rachel says
This looks amazing! Any tips if I wish to swap for a strawberry or banana flavour instead of chocolate please?
Tash says
I'd suggest trying our chocolate custard recipe and substituting the cocoa for strawberry Nesquik. You may like to reduce the sugar by half to balance the additional sweetness from the Nesquik. I'm not sure if there are any banana flavoured drink mixes available anymore but there should be some Thermomix banana custard recipes around!

Jem Wright says
Can you use skim milk instead or almond milk?
Lucy says
Hi Jem, I've only ever made it with full cream milk so I'm not 100% sure - but I'll leave your comment here in case someone else has tried that and can answer you better!
Jess says
Hey Jem,
I just made this today on lactose free lite milk and it turned out amazing. No issues at all with not using a full cream milk. Both husband and son LOVED it!
Lauren says
I made with skim milk and it turned out beautiful.
Lucy says
Fantastic!
Mel says
Made it with skim milk and turned out great
Chilli says
Can I skip the egg? Thanks
Lucy says
Hi Chilli, unfortunately no!
Emma says
Great, easy recipe. Only had 70g of choc but it had enough sweetness & 2yo approved ?
AliB says
We made this the other day. It was good but this is not yogo, it's chocolate pudding. Yogo has no egg. I bought banana Nesquik from Woolies today. We are using a different recipe that doesn't require egg.
