Full Recipe Section
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:
- Add the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Combine thoroughly.
- Add scoops of the yogurt mixture (about 2 tbsp) to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or large plate to form the clusters. You should be able to make 10 clusters.
- Next, place the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters in the freezer. Freeze until they are completely frozen and solid, about 1-2 hours.
- Once the clusters are frozen, melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil, and microwave in 15 or 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted.
- Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer and carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate. I recommend using a spoon to ensure each cluster is thoroughly coated. See the Expert Tips section for more help.
- Once coated with chocolate, place each cluster back on the prepared baking sheet. Add a sprinkle of sea salt if you’d like.
- Place the clusters back in the freezer for a few minutes to ensure the chocolate hardens and yogurt solidifies a bit. Enjoy!
