Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
Fruits:
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) chopped strawberries
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup (240 ml) plain greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Chocolate and Oil:
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) coconut oil
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant mixture by combining chopped strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly until ingredients form a smooth, uniform blend with strawberries evenly distributed throughout.
- Use a spoon to portion out approximately 2 tablespoon-sized dollops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Aim for consistent cluster sizes, creating roughly 10 separate portions with a rustic, free-form shape.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer, allowing clusters to solidify completely. Freeze for 1-2 hours until they become firm and maintain their structural integrity when touched.
- Prepare the chocolate coating by melting semi-sweet chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring between each burst, until the mixture becomes completely smooth and glossy at around 90°F.
- Remove frozen clusters and quickly dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Use a spoon to help coat evenly, then place back on the parchment paper. Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt for added complexity.
- Return chocolate-coated clusters to the freezer for a final 3-5 minute chill to set the chocolate and re-solidify the yogurt core. Once hardened, these decadent treats are ready to be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container.
Notes
- Select full-fat Greek yogurt for richer, creamier clusters that hold their shape better during freezing and coating.
- Chop strawberries into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution and easier cluster formation.
- Use high-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content for deeper flavor and smoother melting.
- Sprinkle crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or freeze-dried strawberry powder on wet chocolate for extra texture and visual appeal.
- Store clusters in an airtight container between parchment paper layers to prevent sticking and maintain crisp chocolate shell.
- For a dairy-free version, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Keep clusters frozen until just before serving to maintain optimal texture and prevent melting.
