Chocolate Strawberry Clusters

Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters are the perfect frozen treat when you want something sweet but light and healthy. These creamy, crunchy bites combine fresh strawberries, creamy Greek yogurt, a touch of honey, and a smooth chocolate coating for a snack that feels indulgent without the guilt. They freeze up beautifully and are ideal for cooling off on warm days or anytime you crave a refreshing dessert.

I first saw these clusters trending on TikTok and was curious if they really lived up to the hype. After making them, I was hooked and my whole family now asks for these as a summertime staple because they are so easy to whip up for a quick homemade treat.

Ingredients

• Fresh strawberries: The star ingredient that adds natural sweetness and fiber. Choose bright red, firm berries for the best flavor and texture
• Plain Greek yogurt: Creamy and packed with protein, this builds the base of the clusters. You can use flavored yogurt if you want a flavor twist
• Honey: Adds natural sweetness and balances the slight tartness of the yogurt. Look for raw or pure honey for quality
• Vanilla extract: Enhances flavor and deepens the sweetness naturally
• Semi sweet chocolate chips: The coating that turns these into irresistible clusters. Use good quality chocolate for smooth melting and rich taste
• Refined coconut oil: Helps create a thin, smooth chocolate coating that hardens nicely. Use refined to prevent coconut flavor

Instructions

Combine the Yogurt Mixture:

Chop the fresh strawberries into small pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl. Add the plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and creamy with evenly distributed fruit bits.

Scoop the Clusters:

Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture, about two tablespoons each, onto the parchment. You should be able to make roughly 10 clusters about the size of a golf ball.

Freeze the Clusters:

Place the baking sheet with the formed clusters in the freezer. Freeze them until they are completely solid, which generally takes about one to two hours. Freezing is crucial so the clusters hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.

Melt the Chocolate:

While the clusters freeze, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in short bursts of 15 to 30 seconds, stirring thoroughly between intervals to prevent burning. Continue until the chocolate mixture is smooth and runny.

Dip the Frozen Clusters:

Once the clusters are frozen solid, remove three or four at a time from the freezer. Using a spoon, carefully dip each cluster into the melted chocolate coating to fully coat it. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl and then place each dipped cluster back onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top to enhance the chocolate flavor.

Set and Enjoy:

Return the chocolate coated clusters to the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to let the chocolate harden and the yogurt firm up again. After this final chill, the clusters are ready to enjoy straight from the freezer as a refreshing and healthy dessert.

These clusters are one of my favorite easy frozen desserts because the fresh strawberry pieces really shine, giving bursts of natural sweetness and vibrant color. I remember sharing them at a summer picnic and how quickly they disappeared because the kids loved the combination of tart yogurt and chocolate which made them feel like they were indulging without any of the guilt.

Storage Tips

Store leftover clusters in a tightly sealed container in the freezer to prevent freezer burn. They keep well for up to a month. When ready to eat, let them sit out for five minutes to soften slightly so they are easier to bite into. Avoid storing in the fridge as the chocolate will melt and the yogurt will become too soft.

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or chopped peaches for a new fruity spin. Use flavored yogurt instead of plain to alter the flavor profile, such as vanilla or strawberry yogurt. Make it vegan by using plant based yogurt, maple syrup instead of honey, and dairy free chocolate chips. Skip or reduce chocolate for a lighter cluster or drizzle melted chocolate on top instead of fully coating.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these clusters as a refreshing snack, a quick dessert, or part of a healthy brunch spread. They pair well with fresh fruit salad, granola, or nuts to add extra crunch and texture. You can also pop a few on top of smoothie bowls for a fun garnish or layer them between frozen sorbet or ice cream for an easy parfait style dessert.

These clusters are a quick, healthy dessert any time of year. Try making a batch to see why they are a viral favorite.
