Creamy Greek yogurt combined with berries and rich dark chocolate for a refreshing frozen snack.

# Components:

→ Yogurt Filling

01 - 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
02 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
03 - 1/2 cup mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, chopped strawberries)

→ Chocolate Coating

04 - 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
05 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, blend Greek yogurt and honey until smooth, then gently fold in the fresh berries.
03 - Spoon heaping tablespoons of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared sheet to create 12 clusters.
04 - Freeze the clusters for 1 to 2 hours until completely solid.
05 - Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together using 20-second microwave bursts with stirring or a double boiler until smooth.
06 - Dip each frozen cluster into the melted chocolate using a fork, allowing excess to drip off before returning to the baking sheet.
07 - Freeze the coated clusters for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
08 - Serve frozen. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They satisfy a chocolate craving while keeping you refreshed and cool on hot days.
  • Just 15 minutes of actual work, but they taste like you fussed for hours in the kitchen.
02 -
  • Coconut oil sounds fancy but it actually transforms the chocolate coating from chalky to luxuriously smooth, and it makes dipping so much easier.
  • If your chocolate starts getting too thick while you're dipping, warm it for five seconds in the microwave rather than adding more oil, which can ruin the texture.
03 -
  • Don't skip the parchment paper or you'll spend ten minutes trying to unstick your clusters from the baking sheet and probably break a few in the process.
  • The moment your yogurt mixture starts warming up, work faster or pop it back in the freezer between batches to keep the yogurt solid enough to hold its shape.
