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
- Mix Ingredients: Add the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are combined evenly.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming roughly 10 clusters.
- Freeze Clusters: Place the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters into the freezer. Freeze until the clusters are completely firm and solid, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Melt Chocolate: Combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15 to 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Clusters: Remove frozen clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, dip each cluster into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. Place the coated clusters back on the parchment-lined baking sheet, adding a sprinkle of sea salt if desired.
- Set Chocolate: Return the baking sheet to the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden and the clusters to solidify further. Enjoy your chilled chocolate strawberry yogurt clusters!
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste.
- Use parchment paper to prevent the clusters from sticking to the baking sheet.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle crushed nuts or coconut flakes before the chocolate hardens.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- If coconut oil is unavailable, you can substitute with butter or another neutral oil, though coconut oil adds a subtle flavor and helps chocolate harden nicely.
