Cocoa tastes smoother when you mix it with a little yogurt before adding the rest. A fork turns raspberries into a quick pink topping, so these bowls have a chocolate-colored base and a bright fruit finish without a blender.

Start with the grown-up check

Before you begin · grown-up check

An adult checks the setup, ingredient labels and task suitability, then stays nearby while the young cook prepares the recipe without heat.

  • Together wash hands with soap and water and clean the work surface.
  • Adult checks ingredient labels, equipment and task suitability; ages are starting guides, not a guarantee of readiness.
  • An adult stays nearby throughout.

Ages are a starting guide. A grown-up checks your readiness and stays nearby. Follow the actor label on every step.

Let’s make it

  1. Young cookRinse the raspberries gently and drain them well.
  2. Young cookIn one mixing bowl, stir the cocoa and syrup with 2 tbsp of the measured yogurt until no dry cocoa is visible.
  3. Young cookStir in the rest of the yogurt until evenly chocolate colored.
  4. Young cookMash the raspberries roughly in the second bowl with the fork.
  5. Young cookDivide the cocoa yogurt between serving bowls. Spoon the berries over it and add the cereal just before eating.

The skill you’re learning

Making a small smooth paste first is called loosening a powder. It helps cocoa spread through thick yogurt without leaving dry pockets.

Try one change

Use 1/2 cup fresh blackberries instead of raspberries and mash them well.

Serving & storing

Refrigerate covered at 40°F or below within 2 hours of preparation (1 hour above 90°F); use within 1 day. Store cereal separately.
