Ratios?
* Yogurt : 1 kg
* Cocoa powder : 12 tablespoons
* Orange & cinnamon : depends on how much sweetness you want. Be careful with the cinnamon, it's easy to put in too much. Start with half a teaspoon and go from there.
When I did it, I blended a whole orange (take out the seeds, they contain arsenic) with a small glass of water, and if I remember correctly I put in 6 or 8 tablespoons of the mixture.
When I mixed it all I put it in the fridge for a while. Then when I tasted it after a few hours, I believe it tasted a bit sweeter and more complete than it did when I was mixing it. Then I put it in a plastic box and froze it. Then I took it out, let it defrost slightly so that it wasn't rock hard, and I sliced it in half, then half again, and so on, until I had lot of little cubes of it.
So whenever I wanted some chocolate I just put about 4 cubes in a glass, let it melt, stirred it, and I had chocolate yogurt. It was very nice and it tasted like real chocolate.
Check the sugar content of the yogurt and cocoa powder. The yogurt should be about 3% sugar, and the cocoa powder should be a very tiny percent. Oranges don't contain much sugar, and cinnamon has practically none.
My point being, don't worry about sugar content, but do check the yogurt.
Most chocolate bars are about 50% sugar, or more. When I made my concoction I believe, based on a rough calculation, that it was about 5% roughly. So if you like chocolate, this will give you the taste and just enough sweetness to satisfy, but with a fraction of the sugar.
EDIT : I forgot to mention, I did also put in some shortbread biscuits (blended and stirred in). They contain a lot of sugar in themselves, but when mixed in with everything else it doesn't make too much difference. The end result is still about a tenth of the amount of sugar in normal chocolate.
That's not how we do things in Russia, comrade.
