Ingredients
Fruit and Yogurt Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
- Form clusters: Using a tablespoon or small scoop (about 2 tbsp each), drop dollops of the yogurt mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating approximately 10 clusters.
- Freeze clusters: Place the baking sheet with the formed clusters into the freezer. Freeze until the clusters are fully frozen and solid, which should take about 1 to 2 hours.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15 to 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Dip clusters in chocolate: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, carefully dip each frozen cluster into the melted chocolate, ensuring each one is thoroughly coated. Place each coated cluster back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle some sea salt over the top.
- Freeze again to set: Return the baking sheet with the coated clusters to the freezer for several minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the yogurt to slightly solidify. Your Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters are now ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the yogurt clusters are fully frozen before dipping to prevent melting during the chocolate coating step.
- If the chocolate starts to thicken before all clusters are coated, gently reheat it in short microwave bursts.
- You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate with dark or white chocolate depending on your preference.
- Store the clusters in an airtight container in the freezer and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
- Adding a sprinkle of sea salt after dipping adds a nice contrast to the sweetness and enhances flavors.
