Ingredients
Scale
Cluster Mixture
- 2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt (Substitute with dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
- 1 cup Fresh Strawberries (Can replace with blueberries or raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (Use maple syrup for a vegan alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (Dark chocolate or dairy-free chips can be used)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil (Butter can be used if coconut oil isn’t available)
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a large bowl, gently mix together chopped strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until everything is well blended and creamy.
- Form clusters: Using a spoon, portion out approximately 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture onto a lined baking sheet, forming delightful little clusters.
- Freeze clusters: Slide the baking sheet into the freezer and let the clusters freeze for about 1-2 hours until they are completely solid and firm.
- Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips along with the coconut oil, checking every 15-30 seconds and stirring until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Coat clusters: Take the frozen clusters out of the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- Set chocolate: Place the chocolate-covered clusters back on the baking sheet and return them to the freezer for a few more minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Alternative berries such as blueberries or raspberries can be used in place of strawberries.
- Use dark chocolate or dairy-free chips to keep the clusters dairy free.
- Store the clusters in the freezer to keep them firm and enjoyable as a frozen snack.
