They come together with just a few ingredients and minimal fuss, so they are ideal for busy afternoons or a simple party platter. If you love quick no-bake desserts, you might also enjoy the texture contrast in this Austrian chocolate cream cheese bars twist on a classic dessert.

Why This Recipe Is a Great Choice

The recipe shines because it blends freshness and convenience in a visually pleasing bite-sized treat. Chopped strawberries create pops of color against white yogurt and dark chocolate, making these clusters irresistible on a tray or photographed for social shares. They require no oven time, and the freezer does most of the work while you relax or prep other dishes. If you want to mix up textures, consider pairing these with a crunchy cookie or nibble like in this chewy maple cookies dipped in white chocolate recipe for a dessert board that wows. These clusters scale easily for a crowd and are naturally portion-controlled, so they’re great for gatherings or an easy homemade gift.

Flavor and Texture

Sweet, tangy strawberries peek through a smooth, slightly tangy Greek yogurt base that is balanced by a touch of honey and warm vanilla. When dipped in melted semi sweet chocolate, each cluster gets a crisp shell that snaps gently, revealing the creamy frozen center. The contrast between the cold creamy interior and the firmer chocolate exterior makes every bite satisfying and playful. A tiny sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top enhances the chocolate and brightens the fruit notes.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
• 1 cup plain greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp coconut oil

Step by Step Instructions

1. Add the chopped strawberries, plain greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Combine thoroughly.
2. Add scoops of the yogurt mixture (about 2 tbsp) to a parchment paper lined baking sheet or large plate to form the clusters. You should be able to make 10 clusters.
3. Next place the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters in the freezer. Freeze until they are completely frozen and solid, about 1-2 hours.
4. Once the clusters are frozen, melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15 or 30-second intervals, stirring in between each one, until the chocolate is melted.
5. Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer and carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate. I recommend using a spoon to ensure each cluster is thoroughly coated. See the Expert Tips section for more help. Once coated with chocolate, place each cluster back on the prepared baking sheet. Add a sprinkle of sea salt if you’d like.
6. Place the clusters back in the freezer for a few minutes to ensure the chocolate hardens and yogurt solidifies a bit. Enjoy!

Tips for Best Results

Use very cold, well-drained Greek yogurt so clusters freeze faster and hold their shape better. Pat chopped strawberries dry if they are especially juicy to avoid excess moisture that can create ice crystals. When melting chocolate, stir frequently and keep the heat low to prevent seizing; coconut oil helps achieve a shiny, smooth coating. Work quickly while dipping so the chilled centers remain solid and avoid letting the chocolate pool on the tray for too long. If you want extra texture, roll clusters in finely chopped nuts or toasted coconut before the chocolate sets.

Storage and Make Ahead

Store these clusters in an airtight container in the freezer with parchment layers between them to prevent sticking. They keep best for up to two weeks for optimal texture and flavor. Make them a day ahead for parties or prep several batches at once and keep extras on hand for unexpected guests. Thaw just a minute or two at room temperature before serving if you prefer softer centers.

Final Thought

These Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters are simple, photogenic, and deliciously balanced between fruity brightness and chocolate richness. They are a great project for cooks of any skill level and are perfect for snack platters, kids’ lunches, or a light dessert option. Whip up a batch and watch them disappear.
