Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Prepare a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent the clusters from sticking and make removal easy.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips or chunks in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler for gentle heat.
- Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the roughly chopped freeze-dried strawberries. If you prefer a sweeter cluster, stir in the optional tablespoon of honey until evenly mixed.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon, drop dollops of the yogurt and strawberry mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the clusters evenly to avoid sticking together.
- Coat with Chocolate: Drizzle or spoon the melted chocolate generously over each yogurt cluster, ensuring they are well coated to enhance flavor and texture.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden and the clusters to set firmly.
- Serve or Store: Once the chocolate coating is solid, carefully remove the clusters from the baking sheet. Serve immediately for best freshness, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
- Freeze-dried strawberries provide a crunchy texture; fresh strawberries are not recommended as they add moisture.
- You can customize the clusters by adding nuts, seeds, or other freeze-dried fruits to the yogurt mixture.
- Store clusters in a refrigerator to maintain firmness and freshness.
- Be gentle when handling the clusters after chilling to prevent cracking the chocolate coating.
