Ingredients
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. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon, scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture and place each scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or large plate to form 10 clusters.
- Freeze Clusters: Place the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters into the freezer and freeze until completely solid, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15 to 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Clusters in Chocolate: Remove the frozen clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. Place the coated clusters back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle sea salt on top.
- Set Chocolate Coating: Return the chocolate-coated clusters to the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the yogurt to firm up again.
- Serve: Once the clusters are solid, enjoy them straight from the freezer as a refreshing dessert or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm strawberries for the best texture in the clusters.
- For a sweeter treat, increase the honey to 2 tablespoons.
- Dark chocolate chips can be used as a substitute for semi-sweet chocolate for a richer flavor.
- If coconut oil is not available, you can use unsalted butter or another oil with a mild flavor.
- Store the clusters in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them fresh.
- When dipping clusters, work quickly as the melted chocolate can harden fast when in contact with the cold yogurt mixture.
