Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 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 the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form the clusters: Using about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture per scoop, drop portions onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or plate, forming approximately 10 clusters.
- Freeze the clusters: Place the baking sheet with the clusters in the freezer and let them freeze solid, about 1-2 hours.
- Melt the chocolate coating: 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 fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the frozen clusters: Remove frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Return each cluster to the parchment-lined sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt for extra flavor.
- Final freeze: Place the chocolate-coated clusters back in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up the chocolate and solidify the yogurt clusters. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, ensure the yogurt clusters are completely frozen before dipping in chocolate to avoid melting.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer, less sweet flavor.
- Store leftovers in the freezer in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Sprinkling sea salt on chocolate enhances the flavor contrast.
- Optionally, add finely chopped nuts or shredded coconut to the clusters for added texture before freezing.
