Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 2 tablespoon coconut oil

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Start by adding the chopped strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl. Stir everything together until well combined.

2. Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture and drop them onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or a large plate to form clusters. This recipe will yield about 10 clusters.

3. Place the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters into the freezer. Freeze for 1-2 hours until the clusters are fully frozen and solid.

4. While the clusters freeze, melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.

5. Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated.

6. After each cluster is coated, place it back onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. For an extra touch, sprinkle sea salt over the clusters for a savory contrast.

7. Return the clusters to the freezer for a few more minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and the yogurt to solidify. Once set, the clusters are ready to enjoy!
