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 the yogurt mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, ensuring a consistent flavor in every bite.
- Form the clusters: Using a spoon, scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture and place it onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or a large plate. Shape into clusters. You should be able to make around 10 clusters from this mixture.
- Freeze the clusters: Place the baking sheet with the formed yogurt clusters into the freezer. Allow them to freeze completely until solid, which usually takes about 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, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip clusters in chocolate: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, making sure each cluster is thoroughly coated. Place the chocolate-coated clusters back onto the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor.
- Set the chocolate coating: Return the clusters to the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden and for the yogurt to solidify slightly, ensuring they hold their shape when served.
- Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, the strawberry yogurt clusters are ready to be enjoyed as a refreshing and delicious frozen treat.
Notes
- Use plain Greek yogurt for a thicker texture and tangy flavor; flavored yogurt can change the taste balance.
- Ensure clusters are fully frozen before dipping to prevent melting.
- Microwave the chocolate gradually and stir often to avoid burning.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut or almond-based Greek-style yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Store leftover clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- Sprinkling sea salt enhances the chocolate flavor but is optional.
