How To Make Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
Directions:
- Start by adding the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Combine everything thoroughly.
- Use a spoon to scoop about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or large plate to form clusters. You can make about 10 clusters.
- Next, put the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters in the freezer. Freeze them until they are completely solid, which takes about 1 to 2 hours.
- Once the clusters are frozen, melt the chocolate. Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them in 15 to 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted.
- Carefully remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Dip each one in the melted chocolate using a spoon to make sure they are fully coated. Place them back on the baking sheet. If you want, sprinkle a little sea salt on top.
- Put the clusters back in the freezer for a few minutes to let the chocolate harden and the yogurt solidify a bit. Enjoy!
