Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt full-fat or 2% recommended for best texture
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries crushed into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios) or shredded coconut Optional

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Mat
  • Medium Bowl
  • Small cookie scoop or spoon
  • Microwave-safe bowl (or double boiler)

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the yogurt clusters from sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness if desired.

  3. Gently fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the yogurt mixture. You want to distribute them evenly, but don’t overmix, as you want some small chunks of strawberry rather than a uniform pink color.

  4. If you're using chopped nuts or shredded coconut, stir them in now.

  5. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small clusters. Aim for bite-sized portions.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until the clusters are completely firm and set.
  7. Once the yogurt clusters are frozen, melt the dark chocolate chips. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth, or use a double boiler.

  8. Once the chocolate is melted, drizzle it over the frozen yogurt clusters using a spoon or fork. Alternatively, you can quickly dip the bottom of each cluster into the melted chocolate.
  9. Place the baking sheet back into the freezer for another 30-60 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened.
  10. Once the chocolate is set, carefully peel the clusters off the parchment paper. Your Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters are ready to enjoy!

Notes

Best stored frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. Consume within 2-3 months for optimal taste and texture.
