Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Mixture
- 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 Fruit Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the texture is smooth.
- Form the Clusters: Using a spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and place each portion onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping them into clusters. Aim to create around 10 clusters in total.
- Freeze the Clusters: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze until solid, which should take about 1 to 2 hours.
- Melt Chocolate and Coconut Oil: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in short intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Frozen Clusters: Once the clusters are frozen solid, dip each one into the melted chocolate using a spoon to ensure an even coating. Return the chocolate-coated clusters to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Final Freeze: Freeze the chocolate-dipped clusters again for several minutes until the chocolate hardens completely, then serve immediately or store in the freezer for later enjoyment.
Notes
- For best results, make sure the clusters are fully frozen before dipping in chocolate to prevent melting.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option, and use dark chocolate chips to reduce sugar content.
- Store the clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal flavor and sweetness.
- Allow the chocolate to cool slightly before dipping to prevent melting the yogurt clusters.
