How to Make Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters
Preparation
- Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into small pieces.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped strawberries, and optional sweetener until well mixed.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon small clusters of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper, leaving space between each.
Freezing & Coating
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours, or until the yogurt clusters are solid.
- Once clusters are frozen, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.
- Dip each frozen yogurt cluster into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Return the chocolate-coated clusters to the freezer for another 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
How to Serve Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters
These delicious clusters can be served right from the freezer as a quick snack or dessert. They are perfect on a hot day or as a sweet treat alongside a cup of coffee or tea. You can also display them on a platter for parties or gatherings. Feel free to garnish with extra strawberries or a drizzle of chocolate.
How to Store Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters
Store the chocolate yogurt clusters in an airtight container in the freezer. They can last for up to two weeks, but they are best enjoyed fresh. Just take out what you need and let them sit for a few minutes before eating for the best texture.
Tips to Make Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters
- Make sure your yogurt is thick to help the clusters hold their shape.
- If you like, you can substitute Greek yogurt with flavored yogurt for a twist.
- Adding nuts or other fruits can give your clusters extra crunch and variety.
- If the chocolate is too thick, you can add a bit more coconut oil to thin it out.
Variation
You can try swapping strawberries for other fruits like blueberries or raspberries. Each fruit will give a different flavor and taste to the clusters while keeping it delicious.
