Ingredients
Scale
Fruit:
- 1 ½ cups chopped strawberries
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons (2 tbsp) coconut oil
Instructions
- Craft a velvety blend by gently folding chopped strawberries into creamy Greek yogurt, ensuring an even distribution of fruit throughout the mixture.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to carefully deposit uniform dollops of the strawberry-yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating approximately 9 delicate clusters.
- Slide the tray into the freezer, allowing the clusters to solidify completely for 1-2 hours or ideally overnight, transforming them into frosty morsels.
- Prepare a silky chocolate coating by combining chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, melting incrementally and stirring between each 30-second interval until achieving a glossy, smooth consistency.
- Extract the frozen yogurt clusters and commence the dipping process, carefully coating each morsel in the liquid chocolate using a spoon to ensure complete coverage.
- If the clusters begin to soften during coating, promptly return them to the freezer to maintain their structural integrity.
- Arrange the chocolate-enrobed bites back onto the parchment-lined sheet, optionally sprinkling with a delicate touch of sea salt for an elevated flavor profile.
- Return the decorated clusters to the freezer for a final 20-30 minute set, allowing the chocolate to harden and create a crisp, elegant exterior.
Notes
- Customize yogurt choice by selecting low-fat, non-fat, or dairy-free alternatives to suit different dietary needs.
- Experiment with different berries like blueberries or raspberries for varied flavor profiles and vibrant colors.
- Prevent chocolate from seizing by ensuring no water droplets enter the melting process and maintaining low, consistent heat.
- Boost nutritional value by adding chia seeds, crushed nuts, or dark chocolate chips
