Dark Chocolate Pinwheel with Creamsicle Yogurt Dip

This post was created in partnership with Stonyfield and Divine Chocolate. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

Pie crusts are stuffed with rich, dark chocolate and baked until golden brown before being dunked in an orange-infused yogurt dip!

I recently started appreciating the beauty of the chocolate-orange flavor combination. I’m not sure exactly why I disliked it so much growing up, but now I am all.about.it.

So when I was craving something chocolatey that required minimal ingredients for dessert one night, I came up with this. And oh my… it was fabulous!

I’ve been seeing this method and others that are similar floating around the internet for a while now, and I wanted to try making something all twisty for dessert.

This time around, I used some store bought pie crusts (that were already rolled out into the perfect circular size), but I’m definitely going to do it with homemade crust another time. This made it much quicker to put together, but I also usually have homemade pie crust dough stashed in my freezer. If you’re looking for a good pie crust recipe, this is one of my favorites.

Now, let’s talk chocolate. Divine Chocolate is co-owned by the 85,000 farmer members of Kuapa Kokoo, the cooperative in Ghana that supplies the cocoa for each bar of Divine. As owners, they get a share in the profits, a say in the company, and a voice in the global marketplace.

And you can feel the love that goes into these chocolate bars – they are so amazingly chocolatey! There are lots of different varieties to choose from, but I went straight-up 70% dark for this recipe. It was so rich and smooth and paired beautifully with the fresh orange zest.

As soon as I tasted the dip that I made for this recipe, I knew that I had to put “Creamsicle” in the name. It tastes just like those childhood treats, but is much healthier since it uses lowfat yogurt and only 1 tablespoon of honey.

I set the ramekin of dip right in the center on the little platform that was left in the center of my pinwheel, and my family went to town breaking off the twists and dunking them.

And that little bit of raw sugar on top added a really nice crunch to each bite.

I saved a few of the twists in a container in the refrigerator and they held up great for several days. They tasted pretty wonderful chilled, too!
