Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Strawberries
- Wash strawberries, remove stems, and chop them into tiny pieces.
- Important! Pat them dry with paper towels. Wet strawberries = icy clusters.
2. Mix Yogurt & Strawberries
- In a bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, chopped strawberries, and honey (if using).
3. Shape the Clusters
- Line a tray with parchment paper or a Silicone Baking Mat.
- Use a spoon or Mini Cookie Scoop to drop small mounds of the yogurt mix onto the tray.
- Freeze for 2 hours (this keeps them firm for dipping).
4. Melt the Chocolate
- Combine chocolate chips or chocolate compound and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth.
5. Dip the Clusters
- Use a fork to dip each frozen cluster into the melted chocolate. Let extra chocolate drip off.
- Add toppings like sprinkles or nuts right away—before the chocolate hardens!
6. Freeze Again
- Place dipped clusters back on the tray and freeze for 30 minutes to set.
7. Enjoy!
- Keep clusters in the freezer in a sealed container. They’ll stay fresh for 2 weeks!
Tips for Success
- Dry Strawberries Well: Use paper towels to soak up every drop of water.
- Work Fast with Chocolate: Melted chocolate hardens quickly, so dip clusters ASAP.
- Go Small: Bite-sized clusters are easier to dip and eat.
Are Strawberry Yogurt Clusters Healthy?
Yes! You heard it right. Strawberry Yogurt Clusters are actually healthy if consumed in moderation. You can have it as a morning snack, overnight oats topping or bedtime munching. Each ingredient has its benefits:
- Strawberry: High in vitamin C and antioxidants, strawberries boost immunity, aid digestion, and support heart health.
- Yogurt: Packed with protein, probiotics, and calcium, Greek yogurt promotes digestion, bone strength, and satiety.
- Dark Chocolate: Rich in antioxidants, dark chocolate supports heart health, brain function, and boosts mood.
- Honey: Natural sweeteners with anti-inflammatory properties, enhance flavour and provide energy.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping the Freeze Time: If clusters aren’t frozen solid, they’ll melt when dipped.

- Overheating Chocolate: Burnt chocolate tastes bitter. Expose temperature only until the chocolate melts.
