Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, mix chopped strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined, creating a smooth, flavorful base for the clusters.
- Form the Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop 2-tablespoon portions of the yogurt mixture onto the lined sheet, shaping them into small clusters.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the clusters freeze for 1 to 2 hours until they are completely solid and firm.
- 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 well after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the Clusters: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer, then carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, covering them evenly for a delicious chocolate shell.
- Set the Chocolate: Place the chocolate-coated clusters back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, then return the sheet to the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate coating to fully harden.
- Serve & Enjoy: Before serving, let the clusters sit at room temperature for about 2 minutes to soften slightly, enhancing their texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Ensure clusters are completely frozen before dipping in chocolate to prevent melting.
- Store leftover clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- For a nuttier flavor, sprinkle crushed nuts on the clusters immediately after dipping in chocolate before the coating sets.
