Description

Learn how to make these easy and delicious Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters! This no-bake recipe combines Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, and a rich chocolate coating for a healthy and satisfying treat.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ cups chopped strawberries
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: Combining the Flavors

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the strawberries are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.

2. Form the Clusters: Shaping for Freezing

  1. Line Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet or a large plate with parchment paper. This will prevent the clusters from sticking.
  2. Scoop Mixture: Using a spoon or a small scoop (about 2 tablespoons per cluster), scoop out portions of the yogurt mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
    • Tip: You should be able to make about 10 clusters with this recipe.
  3. Shape (Optional): You can leave the clusters as mounds, or you can use your fingers or the back of a spoon to slightly flatten them or shape them into more uniform rounds.

3. Freeze the Clusters: Creating a Solid Base

  1. Freeze: Place the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters in the freezer.
  2. Freezing Time: Freeze the clusters until they are completely frozen solid, about 1-2 hours. This is important to ensure they hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.

4. Melt the Chocolate: Preparing the Coating

  1. Combine Chocolate and Oil: Once the yogurt clusters are frozen, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the coconut oil.
  2. Microwave in Intervals: Microwave the chocolate and coconut oil in 15 or 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
    • Tip: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can burn easily.
    • Alternative Method: You can also melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.

5. Dip the Clusters: Creating a Decadent Chocolate Shell

  1. Remove from Freezer: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer.
  2. Dip in Chocolate: Carefully dip each frozen yogurt cluster into the melted chocolate, using a spoon or fork to ensure it’s thoroughly coated. You can also spoon the chocolate over the clusters to cover them.
  3. Place on Baking Sheet: Place the chocolate-covered clusters back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Optional: Sprinkle with Salt: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate coating before it sets.

6. Final Freeze: Setting the Chocolate Coating

  1. Return to Freezer: Place the baking sheet with the chocolate-covered clusters back in the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.

7. Serve and Enjoy: A Refreshing and Healthy Treat

  1. Serve Frozen: Serve the Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters frozen or slightly thawed for a refreshing and delicious treat.
