Healthy Protein Strawberry Yogurt Clusters With Dark Chocolate
If you’re craving something that feels like dessert but doesn’t leave you in a sugar spiral, these strawberry yogurt clusters are it. They’re cold, creamy, crunchy, and the dark chocolate shell gives that real satisfying “snap.” Bonus: they look fancy with basically zero effort.
Why you’ll love these
- Taste = dessert. Effort = 10 minutes.
- High satisfaction: cold fruit + creamy center + crisp chocolate shell
- Easy swaps: coconut yogurt or Greek yogurt both work
- Perfect make-ahead snack for the freezer
Ingredients (1 batch)
- 1 box strawberries
- 2 tablespoons yogurt
- Coconut yogurt (dairy-free)
- Or Greek yogurt (for extra protein)
- 200 g dark chocolate, melted
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for shine + smoother bite)
Step-by-step (super simple)
- Chop strawberries into small-to-medium pieces. (Too big = hard to cluster.)
- Mix chopped strawberries with 2 tablespoons yogurt until everything is lightly coated.
- Form clusters: scoop little mounds onto a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze 30 minutes until clusters feel firm.
- While they freeze, melt 200 g dark chocolate and stir in 1 teaspoon coconut oil.
- Dip + coat: take clusters out of the freezer and drop them into the melted chocolate. Coat well.
- Set + enjoy: eat right away for a softer bite, or chill again for 10–15 minutes for a snappier shell.
Pro Tips (so they come out perfect)
- Use parchment paper (non-stick matters here).
- Keep yogurt at 2 tablespoons. More yogurt = icy texture and messy dip.
- Work quickly after freezing — the clusters soften fast.
FAQ:
Are strawberry yogurt clusters actually healthy?
They can be - especially when made with Greek yogurt and dark chocolate. They’re a smarter dessert swap that still feels indulgent.
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of coconut yogurt?
Yes. Greek yogurt makes them thicker, higher-protein, and less icy.
Why add coconut oil to melted chocolate?
It improves shine, helps the chocolate coat more smoothly, and makes the shell easier to bite.
How long do you freeze the clusters?
Freeze for 30 minutes initially, then optionally 10–15 minutes after dipping for a crisp finish.
