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:
- In a large bowl, add the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Use a spoon to take scoops of the yogurt mixture (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or large plate to form clusters. Aim for about 10 clusters total.
- Put the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters in the freezer. Let them freeze until they are solid, which should take about 1-2 hours.
- Once the clusters are frozen, it’s time to melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave them in 15 or 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Take the frozen yogurt clusters out of the freezer. Carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to ensure they’re fully coated.
- After dipping, place each cluster back on the prepared baking sheet. If you like, sprinkle a little sea salt on top for extra flavor.
- Return the baking sheet to the freezer for a few minutes to let the chocolate harden and the yogurt firm up a bit.
- Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters!
