The foundation of a great brownie lies in the proper mixing of ingredients. Start by mixing the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another. This method ensures that the leavening agents and cocoa powder are evenly distributed throughout the brownie mixture, leading to a consistent texture.

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

    Make the brownie base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, mixing until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating well until fully combined. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

      Bake the brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely in the pan.

        Prepare the yogurt swirl: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. If using, fold in the chocolate chips gently.

          Assemble the rounds: Once the brownies are cool, lift them out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut the brownies into rounds using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass.

            Swirl the yogurt: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place each brownie round. Top each brownie with a generous scoop of the yogurt mixture. Use a toothpick or a knife to swirl the yogurt into the brownie for an artistic effect.

              Freeze the rounds: Once assembled, place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until the yogurt is firm.

                Serve: Once frozen, remove the rounds from the freezer, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then serve topped with fresh berries, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and chopped nuts if desired.
