Ingredients
1 pint nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt
1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
6 small candy canes, crushed
Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process), divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup skim milk
2 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate
2 tablespoons lightly salted butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup hot water
Note: Crushed candy canes make a pretty garnish for this luscious dessert.
Directions
Soften frozen yogurt by letting it sit out for 15 minutes, then stir in peppermint extract and crushed candy canes. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a 10-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk together flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
Combine milk, chocolate squares and butter in a small saucepan. Place over medium-low heat until chocolate and butter are melted. Blend well into flour mixture. Transfer batter into prepared pie pan, spreading evenly across bottom.
In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar and 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Sprinkle evenly over batter. Place pie in oven and gently pour hot water over everything (this will create a brownielike top and a gooey bottom). Bake for 40 minutes; center will be puddinglike.
Remove pudding pie from oven and let cool slightly. Spoon each serving onto a dessert plate, and top with a scoop of peppermint frozen yogurt.
