Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters (Printable Version)

Tangy Greek yogurt and sweet strawberries wrapped in a crisp, rich chocolate shell for a healthy bite.

# What You Need:

→ Fruit & Yogurt

01 - 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
02 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

→ Sweetener & Flavor

03 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (omit if using vanilla yogurt)

→ Chocolate Coating

05 - 1½ cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
06 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt, diced strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until strawberries are evenly distributed.
03 - Spoon heaping tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form approximately 16 clusters.
04 - Freeze clusters for 45 minutes or until completely solid.
05 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
06 - Dip each frozen cluster into the melted chocolate using forks to fully coat. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then return clusters to the baking sheet.
07 - Freeze the chocolate-coated clusters for at least 15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
08 - Serve clusters frozen or allow to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before enjoying.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like indulgent dessert but pack protein and probiotics from Greek yogurt.
  • You can grab one straight from the freezer for an instant cooling treat on hot days.
  • The chocolate coating makes them feel special enough for guests but simple enough for a weeknight.
02 -
  • Don't skip freezing the yogurt clusters before dipping, or they'll melt into the chocolate and turn soupy.
  • Stir the melted chocolate every 30 seconds to prevent scorching, because burnt chocolate is impossible to save.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt if you can, it freezes creamier and doesn't get icy like low-fat versions sometimes do.
03 -
  • Freeze a double batch and keep them on hand for last-minute guests or late-night cravings.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on the wet chocolate for a sweet-salty contrast that makes people ask what your secret is.
  • If the chocolate starts to thicken while dipping, rewarm it for 10 seconds to bring back the silky texture.
