Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups diced strawberries (250g after dicing)
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt or dairy-free Greek yogurt (240g)
- 2 tbsp honey or pure maple syrup (omit if using sweetened yogurt)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (170g)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (12g) – optional
Instructions
- Prepare the base mixture: Line a baking sheet or large platter with wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries, vanilla Greek yogurt, and honey or maple syrup, stirring well until evenly mixed.
- Shape the clusters: Using a spoon, drop dollops of the strawberry yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently spread each dollop into a patty shape to form clusters.
- Freeze the clusters: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the clusters for at least three hours or overnight, until they are fully frozen and firm to touch.
- Melt the chocolate coating: Carefully melt the chocolate chips using either a microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently, or a double boiler on the stovetop. For a smoother coating, stir the optional coconut oil into the melted chocolate until well combined.
- Dip clusters in chocolate: Remove the frozen strawberry yogurt clusters from the freezer and dip each cluster into the melted chocolate to coat it thoroughly. Return the coated clusters to the baking sheet.
- Set the chocolate coating: Place the chocolate-dipped clusters back into the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and set completely.
- Serve and store: Enjoy these frozen clusters straight from the freezer as a cold, refreshing snack. Store any leftovers in a covered container in the freezer for up to three months to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free Greek yogurt and maple syrup as sweetener.
- The coconut oil in the chocolate is optional but helps create a smoother, shinier coating.
- Clusters are best enjoyed directly from the freezer to keep their shape and texture.
- Leftovers freeze well and can be stored for up to three months.
