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 the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent the clusters from sticking.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips or chunks in 30-second intervals, stirring between each to achieve a smooth consistency. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler for gentle heat.
- Mix yogurt and strawberries: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and roughly chopped freeze-dried strawberries. If you want extra sweetness, stir in the optional tablespoon of honey until well mixed.
- Form clusters: Drop spoonfuls of the yogurt-strawberry mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to avoid sticking together.
- Coat with chocolate: Drizzle or spoon the melted dark chocolate over each yogurt cluster, making sure each is evenly coated.
- Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Serve or store: Remove the hardened clusters from the baking sheet and serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For best texture, use freeze-dried strawberries instead of fresh to prevent excess moisture.
- You can substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate or white chocolate according to preference.
- Optional honey can be omitted if using vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt or to reduce sugar content.
- Ensure chocolate is fully melted and smooth to coat clusters evenly.
- Store leftover clusters in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
