Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) chopped strawberries
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) honey
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) coconut oil
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blend chopped strawberries with Greek yogurt, incorporating honey and vanilla extract until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Utilizing a tablespoon measure, carefully portion the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating 10 uniform clusters with gentle mounding.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer, allowing clusters to solidify completely for approximately 1-2 hours until they maintain a firm structure.
- Prepare the chocolate coating by microwaving chocolate chips with coconut oil, stirring every 15-30 seconds until achieving a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Remove frozen clusters and delicately immerse each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring comprehensive coverage and gentle tapping to eliminate excess chocolate.
- Optionally, sprinkle a delicate pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-coated clusters for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Return the chocolate-enrobed clusters to the freezer, permitting them to set and harden completely for approximately 15-20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Enhance Sweetness Experiment with different honey varieties like lavender or orange blossom for unique flavor profiles.
- Boost Nutrition Add chia seeds or crushed nuts to the yogurt mixture for extra protein and crunch.
- Dietary Flexibility Use dairy-free yogurt and vegan chocolate chips to create a plant-based version of these clusters.
- Perfect Dipping Technique Keep chocolate at a consistent warm temperature and use a fork to ensure smooth, even chocolate coating.
