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 Yogurt Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well mixed.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon, drop scoops of the yogurt mixture (about 2 tablespoons each) onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or large plate to form around 10 clusters.
- Freeze Clusters: Place the baking sheet with the clusters into the freezer. Freeze until the clusters are completely solid, which takes about 2 hours.
- Melt Chocolate: Once the clusters are frozen, place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat Clusters: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate using a spoon to ensure they are thoroughly coated. Place the coated clusters back on the parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top.
- Final Freeze: Return the chocolate-coated clusters to the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the yogurt to solidify slightly. Once set, enjoy your refreshing treat!
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent clusters from sticking to the baking sheet.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on the chocolate coating to enhance flavor.
- Store leftover clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- Be careful when melting the chocolate to avoid burning by microwaving in short intervals and stirring often.
