Description
Delightful chocolate-covered strawberry yogurt clusters bring sweet, tangy magic to snack time. Creamy yogurt and fresh strawberries nestled in rich chocolate create an irresistible treat you can’t resist popping into your mouth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (for smoother chocolate)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 1 tbsp honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tbsp crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Mixture Preparation: Thoroughly blend chopped strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Initial Freezing: Carefully deposit small dollops of the combined mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring uniform spacing. Chill in the freezer for approximately 60 minutes until completely solidified.
- Chocolate Coating: Using a microwave-safe container, gently melt chocolate chips and coconut oil through 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Dipping Process: Remove frozen yogurt clusters from freezer and carefully immerse each piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete and thorough coverage.
- Garnishing: While chocolate remains wet, optionally sprinkle crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or decorative sprinkles over the coated clusters for added texture and visual appeal.
- Final Chilling: Return chocolate-dipped clusters to the parchment-lined baking sheet and return to freezer for an additional 15-20 minutes until chocolate sets completely.
- Storage and Serving: These delectable clusters are ready to enjoy immediately or can be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks in an airtight container.
Notes
- Ensure strawberry yogurt mixture is completely frozen before chocolate dipping to prevent melting and maintain structural integrity.
- Use room temperature chocolate and work quickly when coating to achieve a smooth, even chocolate shell without clumping.
- Swap Greek yogurt with dairy-free alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt for vegan options; use sugar-free chocolate for low-sugar diets.
- Use a fork when dipping frozen clusters into chocolate for easy removal and cleaner coating, allowing excess chocolate to drip off smoothly.
