Instructions
1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture
-
In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well mixed.
-
Ensure the strawberries are finely chopped to help them mix evenly with the yogurt.
2. Scoop and Freeze the Clusters
-
Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
-
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment-lined sheet to form small clusters. You should be able to make about 10 clusters.
-
Place the sheet with the clusters in the freezer and freeze for 1-2 hours, or until the yogurt clusters are completely frozen and solid.
3. Melt the Chocolate
-
Once the clusters are frozen, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the coconut oil.
-
Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between each one, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
4. Dip the Clusters in Chocolate
-
Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
-
Place the chocolate-covered clusters back onto the parchment paper-lined sheet. You can also sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top for an added flavor boost (optional).
5. Freeze and Set
-
Place the clusters back in the freezer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the yogurt to solidify a bit more.

FAQs
How do I store these chocolate strawberry clusters?
Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. They’ll stay fresh and ready to enjoy as a cool, sweet treat.
Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain?
Yes, you can use flavored yogurt like strawberry or vanilla for an extra burst of flavor. However, plain Greek yogurt works best for a balanced tanginess that complements the sweetness of the fruit and chocolate.
Can I use a different type of chocolate?
Absolutely! You can use dark chocolate, white chocolate, or any variety you prefer. The semi-sweet chocolate gives the best balance of sweetness, but it’s all up to your preference.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! These frozen clusters can be made a day in advance and stored in the freezer until you’re ready to serve them.
What type of coconut oil should I use?
Use refined coconut oil for the smoothest and mildest chocolate coating. Virgin coconut oil can have a stronger coconut flavor, so it’s best to use refined if you want the chocolate to be the dominant flavor.

Instructions
Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Freeze the Clusters:
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the yogurt clusters until solid, about 1-2 hours.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Dip the Yogurt Clusters:
Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated. Place the chocolate-dipped clusters back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the chocolate before the chocolate sets.
Freeze to Set:

Optional Variations & Dietary Adaptions

Notes
Parchment Paper: Always line the freezing surface with parchment paper to prevent the clusters from sticking.
Chill the Clusters: Make sure the yogurt clusters are completely frozen before dipping them into chocolate to avoid any melting.
Chocolate Dipping: Melt the chocolate in a small, deep bowl for easier dipping. Adding coconut oil helps create a smooth, thin chocolate coating.
Batch Dipping: Only take 3-4 clusters at a time from the freezer to dip in the chocolate. This prevents the clusters from thawing and getting messy.
