Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (150 g) strawberries, diced (stems removed)
- ½ cup (120 ml) plain Greek yogurt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it completely with parchment paper, ensuring full coverage to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, gently combine finely diced fresh strawberries with creamy Greek yogurt and pure vanilla extract, stirring until the ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Using a tablespoon (15 milliliters) or small scoop, carefully portion the strawberry-yogurt mixture onto the prepared parchment paper, creating uniform clusters approximately in size, maintaining even spacing between each cluster.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the clusters to set for 30 to 45 minutes, monitoring until they become solidly frozen yet still maintain a soft, palatable texture.
- While the clusters are freezing, prepare the chocolate coating by melting semi-sweet chocolate chips and refined coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until the mixture achieves a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer and carefully immerse each cluster into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage, then delicately return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Allow the chocolate shell to solidify at room temperature or expedite the process by returning the baking sheet to the refrigerator, then serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for future enjoyment.
