Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (or plain Greek yogurt if preferred)
1 teaspoon agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
1 cup milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, or dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate bar)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped strawberries and Greek yogurt until well mixed. Add sweetener if desired and stir again.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, drop mounds of the strawberry-yogurt mixture onto the sheet. You should get about 9 clusters.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for 1–2 hours or until the clusters are completely solid.
When ready to dip, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each until smooth.
Remove the frozen clusters from the freezer and quickly dip each one in the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat them fully.
Place the chocolate-coated clusters back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, lightly sprinkle with sea salt.
Freeze again for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully hardened and the clusters are firm throughout.

Variations

Storage/Reheating

FAQs
How long do the clusters need to freeze before dipping?
They need at least 1–2 hours, or until fully solid, so they don’t melt in the chocolate.
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
Yes, but thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the yogurt mixture.
What type of yogurt works best?
Thick Greek yogurt works best because it holds its shape and freezes well.
Can I make these clusters vegan?
Yes—use dairy-free yogurt and dairy-free chocolate.
Can I use white chocolate for coating?
Yes, white chocolate melts well and adds a sweeter, creamier finish.
How can I prevent the clusters from melting while dipping?
Be sure they are fully frozen; if they start to soften, place them back in the freezer before continuing.
Can I make the clusters smaller or larger?
Absolutely—adjust scoop size as desired. Keep in mind larger clusters take longer to freeze.
Do I need coconut oil for the melted chocolate?
Coconut oil helps the chocolate melt smoothly and coat evenly, but you can omit it if needed.
How long do these clusters last in the freezer?
They stay fresh for 2–3 weeks when stored in an airtight container.
Can I add mix-ins like nuts or seeds?
Yes, chopped nuts, seeds, or granola can be mixed into the yogurt for extra texture.
