Strawberry Yogurt Clusters Sweet (Printable version)

Juicy strawberries combine with creamy yogurt and a crisp chocolate coating for a refreshing snack.

# Ingredient List:

→ Fruit & Yogurt

01 - 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
02 - 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla; dairy-free substitute optional)
03 - 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
04 - 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Chocolate Coating

05 - 7 ounces dark or milk chocolate, chopped or chips
06 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Combine Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup if using, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth.
02 - Gently fold chopped strawberries into the yogurt mixture until evenly coated.
03 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the sheet, spacing clusters apart. Aim for 16 clusters.
04 - Freeze clusters for 1 to 2 hours, or until solidly frozen.
05 - Melt chocolate and coconut oil if using in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
06 - Dip each frozen cluster into the melted chocolate using a fork to coat thoroughly. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, then return clusters to the parchment-lined sheet.
07 - Freeze the coated clusters for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
08 - Enjoy directly from the freezer. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're tangy, creamy, and chocolate-covered all at once without feeling like an indulgence.
  • Freezing takes only 2 hours, so you can satisfy a craving without hours of waiting.
  • They're naturally high in protein and probiotics, so you can feel good about eating them straight from the freezer.
02 -
  • If your yogurt is too thin, the clusters won't hold their shape—Greek yogurt's thickness is doing the heavy lifting here.
  • Frozen yogurt melts faster than you'd think, so work in batches if your kitchen is warm, and keep the unbaked clusters in the freezer until they're ready for chocolate.
03 -
  • Keep your yogurt clusters in the freezer until the very last second before dipping—even 5 minutes at room temperature softens them.
  • If you're making these for guests, prep them the day before and store them in a container so you're not stressed on serving day.
