Strawberry Yogurt Clusters (Printable version)

Frozen clusters of creamy yogurt and fresh strawberries dipped in rich chocolate.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fruit & Yogurt

01 - 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
02 - 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla; dairy-free alternative 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 in chips
06 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)

# Directions:

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 well coated.
03 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the sheet, spacing them apart to form approximately 16 clusters.
04 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours, or until clusters are firm and solid.
05 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate with coconut oil if using, heating in 20-second increments and stirring until smooth.
06 - Dip each frozen cluster into the melted chocolate using a fork, coating thoroughly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before returning clusters to the parchment-lined sheet.
07 - Return the coated clusters to the freezer for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
08 - Enjoy clusters directly from the freezer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They satisfy that ice cream craving but feel somehow lighter and more wholesome
  • The contrast between frozen creamy centers and snap crisp chocolate coating makes them impossible to eat just one
  • You can prep a whole batch in fifteen minutes and keep them stashed in the freezer for whenever cravings strike
02 -
  • Work quickly once you start dipping because the frozen centers will begin to soften and the chocolate will start seizing up from the cold temperature
  • Double coating these creates the most incredible shell, but a single layer still gives you that satisfying snap
03 -
  • Freeze the baking sheet for ten minutes before scooping so the yogurt mixture holds its shape better
  • Use a cookie scoop for perfectly uniform clusters that look like they came from a chocolate shop
