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
- Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly blended.
- Form the clusters: Using a spoon, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture and place it onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or a large plate. Shape the mixture into small clusters. You should be able to make around 10 clusters.
- Freeze the clusters: Place the baking sheet with the formed yogurt clusters into the freezer. Freeze until the clusters are fully solidified, approximately 1 to 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 after each session, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Coat the clusters: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate using a spoon to ensure thorough coating. Place each chocolate-coated cluster back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for added flavor.
- Set the coating: Return the chocolate-coated clusters to the freezer for several minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the yogurt to solidify slightly again.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, your frozen chocolate strawberry yogurt clusters are ready to enjoy as a healthy, delicious treat.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a sweeter treat, increase the honey slightly according to taste.
- Make sure to freeze the clusters thoroughly before dipping to prevent melting.
- For easier dipping, use a spoon to coat the clusters with chocolate evenly.
- You can store these clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- Feel free to substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate if preferred.
