Ingredients
Scale
Fruit and Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup strawberries, diced (stems removed)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Strawberries and Yogurt: In a large bowl, combine the diced strawberries with plain Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir gently until all the berries are thoroughly coated with the yogurt mixture.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the strawberry-yogurt mixture per cluster and place each on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between clusters. This recipe yields approximately 8 clusters.
- Freeze Clusters: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for 30 to 45 minutes until the clusters are solid but still easy to bite.
- Melt Chocolate: About 10 minutes before clusters are ready, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Coat Clusters: Remove the frozen clusters from the freezer. Quickly dip each one into the melted chocolate using a large spoon, coating completely. Place the coated clusters back on the baking sheet.
- Set Chocolate Shell: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature for a few minutes until it forms a firm shell. The clusters are now ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For best texture, eat clusters shortly after chocolate hardens to avoid condensation when thawing.
- You can substitute vanilla extract with almond or coconut extract for different flavor notes.
- Use high-quality semisweet chocolate chips for a richer taste.
- Store clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- Coconut oil helps the chocolate set with a shiny finish and smooth texture, but can be omitted if preferred.
