Ingredients
Scale
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 incorporated.
- Form the clusters: Using a spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture and place it onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or large plate. Shape each scoop into clusters. You should be able to make approximately 10 clusters.
- Freeze the clusters: Place the baking sheet with the formed clusters into the freezer. Allow them to freeze completely until solid, roughly 1 to 2 hours.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 15 to 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the clusters: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, ensuring each one is thoroughly coated. After coating, place the clusters back onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each cluster to enhance the flavor.
- Final freeze: Return the coated clusters to the freezer for a few more minutes to let the chocolate harden and the yogurt solidify slightly. Once hardened, the clusters are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use vegan chocolate chips.
- If you prefer a sweeter treat, adjust the honey quantity to taste.
- Sprinkling sea salt on top enhances the chocolate flavor and adds a nice contrast.
- Store the clusters in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them fresh.
- Allow clusters to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for easier biting if desired.
