How to Make Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp coconut oil

Directions:

In a large bowl, add the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix them together well.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture and place it on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or large plate to form clusters. You should be able to make about 10 clusters.
Put the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters in the freezer. Freeze until they are completely frozen and solid, which takes about 1 to 2 hours.
Once the clusters are frozen, melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15 or 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted.
Take the frozen yogurt clusters out of the freezer. Carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate. Using a spoon can help ensure each cluster is coated well.
Place each chocolate-coated cluster back on the prepared baking sheet. If you like, you can add a sprinkle of sea salt.
Return the clusters to the freezer for a few minutes to let the chocolate harden and the yogurt solidify a bit. Enjoy!
