Description
These Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters are the perfect quick treat—creamy, fruity, and coated in rich chocolate. They’re made with simple ingredients and require no baking, making them ideal for a healthy snack or easy dessert. Each bite gives you a refreshing mix of sweet strawberries, tangy yogurt, and a crisp chocolate shell.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups fresh strawberries (chopped)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
Wash, hull, and chop the strawberries into small pieces. Pat dry to remove excess moisture.
In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Fold the chopped strawberries into the yogurt mixture until evenly distributed.
Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming small clusters.
Place the tray in the freezer for 2–3 hours, or until the clusters are completely firm.
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip each frozen cluster into the melted chocolate or spoon chocolate over them to coat.
Place back on parchment paper and freeze for another 15–20 minutes until chocolate is set.

FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but Greek yogurt is recommended because it is thicker and holds its shape better when frozen. Regular yogurt may result in softer clusters that are harder to coat with chocolate.
How do I prevent the chocolate from cracking too much?
Adding a little coconut oil to the chocolate helps keep it smooth and slightly softer, preventing excessive cracking when you bite into the clusters.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely. These clusters store very well in the freezer, making them perfect for meal prep or quick snacks throughout the week.
How long do they last in the freezer?
They can last up to 2 weeks when stored in an airtight container, though they’re usually eaten much faster.
Can I make them dairy-free?
Yes, simply use a dairy-free yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips to create a completely dairy-free version of this recipe.
