Tips & Variations

• Use flavored Greek yogurt like vanilla or strawberry for added sweetness and dimension.
• Swap dark chocolate chips for milk or white chocolate if preferred, but dark chocolate offers a richer taste and health benefits.
• Add a sprinkle of crushed nuts or shredded coconut on the chocolate before it sets for extra texture.
• Make mini versions by cutting strawberries into halves to create bite-sized clusters.

Storage

Store the clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them frozen and thaw slightly before eating. To re-harden chocolate after thawing, place them back in the fridge for a few minutes.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

It’s best to use fresh strawberries because frozen fruit can release moisture, which affects the yogurt and chocolate coating.

What can I use instead of coconut oil?

You can substitute coconut oil with a neutral vegetable oil or cocoa butter to help melt and smooth the chocolate.

Instructions

1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly to ensure there is no moisture that could interfere with the coating process.
2. Mix Yogurt: In a bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with a sweetener if desired, mixing until smooth.
3. Coat Strawberries: Dip each strawberry into the yogurt mixture until fully coated, then carefully place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
4. Freeze Yogurt Coating: Freeze the coated strawberries for 30 minutes to allow the yogurt layer to set firmly.
5. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips together with coconut oil, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring after each until smooth and glossy.

Notes

• Ensure strawberries are completely dry before coating to prevent yogurt from sliding off.
• Use dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for a richer flavor and health benefits.
• Add a sweetener like honey or maple syrup to Greek yogurt if you prefer a sweeter coating.
• Store clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
