Ingredients
Scale
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 thoroughly until the mixture is even and well blended.
- Form the Clusters: Using about 2 tablespoons for each, scoop the yogurt mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping each into small clusters. You should be able to make approximately 10 clusters.
- Freeze the Clusters: Place the baking sheet with the clusters into the freezer and leave until the clusters are completely frozen and solid, typically 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 well between each session until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the Clusters in Chocolate: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer and gently dip each cluster into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to help coat the clusters thoroughly. After coating, place each chocolate-covered cluster back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for added flavor.
- Final Freezing: Return the chocolate-coated clusters to the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the yogurt to firm up slightly. Once set, the clusters are ready to be enjoyed.
Notes
- Ensure the yogurt clusters are fully frozen before dipping to prevent melting.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking when freezing and after dipping.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet treat.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate based on preference.
- Sprinkling a little sea salt on chocolate adds a nice contrast to the sweetness.
- Store extra clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
