Frozen S’more Yogurt Clusters Recipe
Introduction
These Frozen S’more Yogurt Clusters are a delightful and refreshing twist on the classic campfire treat. Combining creamy Greek yogurt with marshmallows, graham crackers, and a chocolate coating, they make a perfect cool snack for warm days or anytime you crave a sweet bite.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (plus extra for topping)
- 3-4 graham crackers, crushed into bits
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or bar, for melting
- 1 tablespoon optional: coconut oil or neutral oil (to thin melted chocolate)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt, mini marshmallows, and some of the crushed graham cracker bits. Gently fold or stir everything together until evenly mixed.
- Step 2: Using a large cookie scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop dollops of the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 3: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze solid.
- Step 4: Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. If the chocolate is too thick, stir in 1 tablespoon of coconut or neutral oil to thin it.
- Step 5: Remove the frozen clusters from the freezer. Dip each cluster individually into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. Return the coated clusters to the parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with additional mini marshmallows and crushed graham cracker bits.
- Step 6: Return the tray to the freezer again and let the chocolate set completely before enjoying your frozen s’more yogurt clusters.
Tips & Variations
- To enhance the chocolate flavor, try using a good-quality dark or milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
- For extra crunch, add finely chopped nuts like almonds or pecans into the yogurt mixture.
- Use mini chocolate chips instead of melting chocolate for a no-fuss cluster topping.
Storage
Store the frozen yogurt clusters in an airtight container or large ziplock freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, simply remove the desired number and let them soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before eating. Avoid refreezing once thawed for best texture.

FAQs
Can I make these clusters without marshmallows?
Yes, you can omit the marshmallows, but they add the classic s’mores sweetness and texture. You might want to add extra graham cracker bits or a drizzle of honey for balance.
How do I prevent the chocolate from cracking when I bite into the clusters?
Adding a tablespoon of coconut or neutral oil to the melted chocolate helps create a smoother coating that’s less likely to crack. Also, make sure the clusters are fully frozen before dipping.

Ingredients
Yogurt Mixture
- 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (plus extra for topping)
- 3–4 graham crackers, crushed into bits (plus extra for topping)
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or bar, for melting
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or neutral oil (optional, for thinning melted chocolate)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt, mini marshmallows, and some crushed graham cracker bits. Gently fold or stir the mixture together to distribute the ingredients evenly without breaking up the marshmallows.
- Scoop Clusters: Using a large cookie scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, portion the yogurt mixture into clusters and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze Clusters: Transfer the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters to the freezer and allow them to freeze solid, ensuring they hold their shape for the chocolate coating.

- Coat Clusters: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer one at a time and dip each into the melted chocolate, fully coating them. Place the chocolate-coated clusters back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle extra mini marshmallows and crushed graham cracker bits on top of each chocolate-coated cluster before the chocolate sets.
