Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Mix yogurt and strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Form clusters: Using a spoon, scoop the yogurt mixture into small clusters approximately one tablespoon each and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips together with the coconut oil in 30-second increments. Stir thoroughly between each interval until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle chocolate: Carefully drizzle the melted chocolate over each yogurt cluster to add a rich, chocolatey coating.
- Freeze to set: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze for about 2 hours or until firm and fully set.
- Serve: Once completely set, remove the clusters from the freezer and enjoy immediately as a cool and delicious treat.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries to enhance the natural sweetness.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
- Store leftover clusters in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them fresh.
- Allow clusters to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating if they are too firm straight from the freezer.
- If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate drizzle for a sweet and salty flavor contrast.
