1. Prepare all ingredients by measuring them out and keeping them ready to go.
Step 2
2. Place the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Step 3
3. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat. Stir frequently to prevent scalding, and heat until the milk is steaming but not boiling.
Step 4

Step 6
6. Stir in the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is well-combined and creamy.
Step 7
