Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters
Delightful bite-sized treats combining strawberries, Greek yogurt, and rich chocolate, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Yogurt Clusters
- 1.5 cups chopped strawberries
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey Adjust quantity to taste for sweetness.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
- 2 tbsp coconut oil Helps chocolate melt smoothly.
Instructions
Preparation of Yogurt Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or large plate to form clusters. Aim to make around 10 clusters.
Freezing
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until the clusters are completely frozen and solid, approximately 1-2 hours.
Melting Chocolate
- Once frozen, melt the chocolate by adding chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15 or 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
Coating and Final Freezing
- Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer and carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate using a spoon for thorough coating.
- Place each coated cluster back onto the prepared baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle a little sea salt on top.
- Return the clusters to the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden, and the yogurt to solidify a bit.
Notes
These treats can be enjoyed alone or as part of a dessert platter. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. For variation, substitute strawberries with other fruits or use flavored yogurt.
