Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt– or (vanilla flavored)

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 bags semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 2 teaspoons coconut oil

Simple ingredients, big flavor—just the way we like it.\

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Base

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (trust me, this step will make your life so much easier when it’s time to remove the clusters).

2. Mix It Up

• In a large bowl, combine the diced strawberries, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well mixed.

3. Scoop Your Clusters

• Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out small clusters onto the lined baking sheet. They don’t have to be perfect—rustic is charming!

4. Freeze the Clusters

• Pop the tray into the freezer and let the clusters freeze until they’re solid, about 1-2 hours.

5. Melt the Chocolate

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.

6. Dip the Clusters

• Take the frozen clusters out of the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate. Place them back on the parchment-lined tray.

7. Freeze Again

• Once all the clusters are coated in chocolate, return them to the freezer until the chocolate is fully set, about 30 minutes.

8. Enjoy!

• These are best served straight from the freezer for a refreshing, creamy treat.

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Clusters

1. Use Fresh Strawberries: The fresher, the better. Frozen strawberries can release too much moisture and make the clusters watery.

2. Work Quickly: Once the clusters are frozen, you’ll want to dip them in chocolate quickly so they don’t melt.

3. Customize the Flavor: Add a splash of almond extract instead of vanilla for a different vibe.

4. Storage: Keep these in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month—if they last that long!

Where to Enjoy These Clusters

• After School Treat: Your kids will love grabbing one of these straight from the freezer after a long day.

• Valentine’s Day Snack: Serve them on a cute plate with a sprinkle of edible glitter for extra flair.

• Post-Dinner Dessert: Pair with a glass of wine or a cup of tea for a guilt-free indulgence.

• Self-Care Sundays: Because nothing says “treat yourself” like a chocolate-covered snack.
