Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters are a light and healthy frozen treat perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without feeling guilty. These little bites combine creamy Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries, honey, and a crisp chocolate coating to deliver a refreshing dessert that is easy to make and loved by all ages.

I first made these during a hot summer weekend after seeing them everywhere on TikTok. My family immediately fell in love and now they often request these clusters as a cool snack, especially on warm days.

Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries: 1 ½ cups chopped provides natural sweetness and a juicy texture, look for firm and ripe berries for best flavor
  • Plain Greek yogurt: 1 cup protein rich and tangy, Greek yogurt gives a creamy base and adds health benefits, choose full fat for richness or low fat for lighter option
  • Honey: 1 tablespoon adds natural sweetness without refined sugar, use raw or organic honey if possible
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon enhances flavor with a subtle sweetness and aroma, opt for pure vanilla extract rather than imitation
  • Semisweet mini chocolate chips: 1 cup creates a rich chocolate shell, select quality chocolate chips for a smooth melt and great taste
  • Refined coconut oil: 2 tablespoons helps create a smooth and thin chocolate coating, use refined so there is no coconut flavor

Instructions

Scoop the yogurt mixture:
Add the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined creating a creamy and evenly flavored mixture.
Form clusters on parchment:
Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, scoop about two tablespoons of the yogurt mixture and place dollops onto the parchment. Aim to form ten clusters, leaving space between each to prevent sticking.
Freeze the yogurt clusters:
Place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze until completely solid which generally takes about one to two hours. This step is crucial so they hold their shape during the chocolate coating process.
Melt the chocolate coating:
In a microwave safe bowl, combine the semi sweet chocolate chips and refined coconut oil. Heat in 15 to 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat to avoid burning.
Dip the frozen clusters:
Remove the yogurt clusters from the freezer. Using a spoon, carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate ensuring a full coating. Return each coated cluster to the parchment lined sheet. Optionally sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for balance.
Freeze and set:
Place the coated clusters back into the freezer for a few minutes until the chocolate hardens and the yogurt is firm again. Once set, enjoy these chilled, bite sized treats.

I am particularly fond of the Greek yogurt in this recipe because it adds that creamy, tangy balance that keeps these clusters from feeling too sweet or heavy. One memorable time, my kids and I enjoyed these after a long afternoon at the pool, and they declared this snack better than ice cream.

Storage tips

Store leftovers tightly covered in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them fresh and prevent freezer burn. When ready to eat, allow clusters to thaw for a few minutes at room temperature for easy biting. Avoid storing in the fridge as the yogurt starts to soften and becomes messy.

Ingredient substitutions

Swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or chopped peaches to vary the fruit flavor. Use flavored yogurt like vanilla or strawberry for a twist. For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup and use plantbased yogurt with dairyfree chocolate chips.

Serving suggestions

Serve clusters as a refreshing snack, healthy dessert, or party treat. Pair with fresh berries or a drizzle of extra honey for presentation. They also make a fun addition to a summer dessert platter or a cool snack for after school.
