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 sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips or chunks by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler to gently melt the chocolate.
- Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and chopped freeze-dried strawberries. Add honey if you want additional sweetness and mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Form Clusters: Use a spoon to 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 chocolate over each cluster, making sure they are fully or mostly covered for a delicious chocolate shell.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the clusters to set properly.
- Serve or Store: Once the chocolate has hardened, carefully remove the clusters from the baking sheet. Enjoy immediately or keep them stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Make sure the yogurt mixture is thick enough to form clusters, using Greek yogurt is ideal.
- Freeze-dried strawberries add crunch and flavor without adding moisture that could prevent the clusters from setting.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to make removal easier and prevent sticking.
- Adjust sweetness by adding or omitting the honey according to taste preference.
- Store the clusters refrigerated to maintain texture and freshness.
