A few weeks ago, I discovered Müller® Ice Cream Inspired Yogurt.  I’m a huge fan of yogurt, and especially love unusual flavors.  So the idea of ice cream inspired flavors totally caught my eye.  A little bit of experimentation in the kitchen, some Müller® Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Inspired Yogurt, and I came up with a yummy Mint Chocolate Chip Pound Cake!

Looks delicious doesn’t it?  Well, it certainly didn’t last long.  The husband’s favorite ice cream flavor is Mint Chocolate Chip.  In fact, there are several containers of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream in the freezer with his name on it.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been struggling lately to have a little “me time”.  This is the week we pack up the RV.  Next week we have the estate sale and will be selling everything else.

Crazy times.

So it was really nice this week to get up early one day before the mad rush and sit down to a Müller® Ice Cream Inspired Yogurt, my laptop, and no other sounds but the dogs snoring in their bed.   Yep, they totally snore.   (The husband says I’m louder, though).  Which I’m sure is a total fabrication… but anyway…

Müller® Ice Cream Inspired Yogurt comes in Raspberry Chocolate Chip, Mint Chocolate Chip and Vanilla Bean.  It is a “better-for-you” alternative to regular ice cream or other treats. They make a great on-the-go snack or breakfast option and each 5.3 oz. container has a good source of protein (7 g), has 6% milk fat yogurt, and contains less sugar than other yogurts- only 190-210 calories!

I loved it so much that I decided to try my hand at making a fun dessert with it!  Want to know how?

Mint Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

(This recipe makes a small pound cake, for a larger one, simply double the ingredients)
1 (5.3 oz) container Müller® Ice Cream Inspired Yogurt in Mint Chocolate Chip
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. peppermint extract
1 cup chocolate chips
3-4 drops green food coloring

Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp. milk (more if needed)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  In medium bowl mix together butter, sugar and Müller® Mint Chocolate Chip yogurt.  Blend well.

Add in eggs, vanilla and peppermint extracts.  Mix well.

Mix in the flour, baking powder, chocolate chips and food coloring.

Pour into a greased and floured tube pan.  Bake for 30 -40 minutes at 325 degrees in the center rack of your oven.

The cake is done when it separates from the sides and you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.  Remove from the oven and allow it to cool.

Flip the cake onto a serving platter.

Make up the icing by adding the milk to the powdered sugar.  Stir well and then apply to the top of the cake allowing excess to run down the sides.

Love this!  Tastes like ice cream, but it is cake.  The best of both worlds!
