Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters
Delightful chocolate-covered yogurt clusters with fresh strawberries, perfect for a guilt-free dessert or snack.
Ingredients
For the Yogurt Mixture
- 1.5 cups chopped strawberries Fresh or thawed frozen strawberries can be used.
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Use thick yogurt for best result.
- 1 tbsp honey Adjust sweetness to taste.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Coating
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Can substitute with dark chocolate.
- 2 tbsp coconut oil Can substitute with vegetable oil or butter.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, add the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Combine thoroughly until well mixed.
- Scoop out portions of the yogurt mixture (about 2 tbsp each) and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or large plate. You should be able to make about 10 clusters.
- Place the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters in the freezer and freeze until they are completely solid, which usually takes about 1-2 hours.
Coating
- Once the clusters are frozen, melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil, microwaving in 15 or 30-second intervals and stirring in between until melted.
- Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to ensure that each one is thoroughly coated.
- Place each chocolate-coated cluster back on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with a bit of sea salt for an extra flavor kick.
- Return the clusters to the freezer for a few minutes to let the chocolate harden and the yogurt solidify a little.
Notes
Store any leftover clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Keep them separated with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Feel free to experiment with other fruits and toppings.
