Ingredients

Scale

Cluster Base

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

Instructions

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly and create a smooth, fruity base for the clusters.
Form Clusters: Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture per cluster onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a large plate. Shape the mixture into clusters, aiming to make about 10 clusters total.
Freeze the Clusters: Place the baking sheet with the formed clusters into the freezer. Let them freeze until completely solid, which will take about 1 to 2 hours. This step ensures the clusters hold their shape during the chocolate dipping process.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat the mixture in 15 to 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until all the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Dip the Frozen Clusters: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, ensuring each is completely coated. Place the coated clusters back onto the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle a little sea salt over the clusters for an enhanced flavor contrast.
Set the Chocolate: Return the chocolate-coated clusters to the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the yogurt to solidify slightly. Serve cold and enjoy your refreshing and indulgent treat.

Notes

Make sure the clusters are completely frozen before dipping to prevent melting and mess.
Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and to make cleanup easier.
For a dairy-free alternative, substitute Greek yogurt with a coconut or almond-based yogurt.
You can customize the recipe by adding chopped nuts or seeds to the yogurt mixture for added texture.
Store leftover clusters in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
