Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pint fresh medium-sized strawberries, washed and dried
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, full-fat recommended)
  • 1/2 cup dark or milk chocolate chips

Optional Sweetener

  • 12 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts or granola

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Begin by washing and thoroughly drying your strawberries. Trim the stems, then slice them into bite-sized pieces perfect for clustering.
  2. Mix the Yogurt Coating: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup if you want added sweetness. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
  3. Dip the Strawberries: Gently fold the strawberry pieces into the yogurt mixture to coat them evenly without breaking the fruit.
  4. Form Clusters: Using a spoon, scoop small mounds of the coated strawberries onto a parchment-lined baking tray, trying to keep each cluster together.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped nuts, granola, or a handful of chocolate chips over the clusters for added texture and flavor contrast.
  6. Freeze the Clusters: Place the tray in the freezer and let the clusters firm up for at least 2 hours or until solid enough to handle without melting.
  7. Drizzle with Melted Chocolate: Finally, melt your chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler, then drizzle over the frozen yogurt clusters for a glossy, delicious finish.

Notes

  • Dry the strawberries well: Moisture affects yogurt coating adherence and cluster consistency.
  • Use full-fat yogurt: It provides better creaminess and helps the clusters hold their shape when frozen.
  • Work quickly: Keep the yogurt-coated berries cold by forming clusters and freezing promptly to avoid melting.
  • Choose quality chocolate: Good-quality chocolate chips enhance taste and smooth texture in the final drizzle.
  • Store properly: Place clusters in an airtight container with parchment paper layers to prevent sticking.
