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 the Yogurt Mixture: In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended to create the yogurt base.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture for each cluster and place them onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or large plate. You should be able to make approximately 10 clusters.
- Freeze Yogurt Clusters: Place the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters into the freezer. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until the clusters are completely frozen and solid.
- Melt the Chocolate: Add 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15 to 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the Frozen Clusters: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place each coated cluster back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor.
- Final Freeze: Return the chocolate-coated clusters to the freezer for several minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the yogurt to solidify slightly. Once firm, enjoy your delicious frozen treat!
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and richer flavor.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
- Make sure the clusters are fully frozen before dipping in chocolate to prevent melting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- Adding a sprinkle of sea salt enhances the chocolate’s flavor and balances the sweetness.
