Description
These Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters are a delicious and healthier treat combining the richness of chocolate with the tangy goodness of Greek yogurt and sweet strawberries. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth, they offer a delightful balance of creamy, crunchy, and fruity flavors.
Ingredients
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1/2 cup dark chocolate (or milk chocolate, depending on preference)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1/4 cup crushed nuts (optional, for extra crunch)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey. Stir well until smooth and fully combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.
- Using a spoon, drop small spoonfuls of the yogurt-strawberry mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming little clusters.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate (or milk chocolate) in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and completely melted.
- Drizzle or spoon the melted chocolate over each yogurt cluster, ensuring some of the yogurt is coated with chocolate.
- If you’re using crushed nuts, sprinkle them on top of the clusters for added texture and flavor.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the clusters are firm and set.
- Once frozen, remove the clusters from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with non-dairy alternatives like coconut, almond, or soy yogurt.
- Store these clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks.
- Fresh strawberries are recommended for best texture. If using frozen, make sure they are fully thawed and drained.
- You can skip the honey for a sugar-free version or use other sweeteners like maple syrup.
- For extra flavor, you can add toppings such as shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt.
