Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters
These delightful bites combine fresh strawberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and rich chocolate for a nutritious yet indulgent snack or dessert.
Ingredients
For the clusters
- 1.5 cups chopped strawberries Use ripe and flavorful strawberries for best taste.
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Use full-fat for creamier texture.
- 1 tbsp honey Can be reduced or omitted for lower sugar options.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds a subtle sweetness.
For the chocolate coating
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Can substitute with dark or milk chocolate.
- 2 tbsp coconut oil Can substitute with another oil if desired.
Instructions
Preparation
- Chop strawberries into small pieces and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.
Forming Clusters
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, portion out the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, aiming for about 2 tbsp per cluster.
- Spread them out evenly, ensuring space between each cluster.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1-2 hours until clusters are frozen solid.
Chocolate Coating
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 15-30 second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Remove clusters from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, using a spoon for coverage.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top if desired, then return to the baking sheet.
- Freeze again for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
Notes
Clusters are best served fresh from the freezer. Store in an airtight container separated by parchment paper for up to two weeks. Can be made with alternative fruits or yogurt for dietary needs.
