Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, dried, and chopped
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and dry fresh strawberries thoroughly, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. Ensuring they are dry helps avoid excess moisture which can affect the clusters’ texture.
- Mix the Yogurt and Sweetener: In a medium bowl, blend Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup if using. Stir until smooth and well combined to add a touch of sweetness.
- Add Chia Seeds and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold chia seeds and dark chocolate chips into the yogurt mixture, taking care not to break the chocolate chips so they remain whole for bursts of melty chocolate.
- Combine with Strawberries: Carefully mix the chopped strawberries into the yogurt blend, ensuring an even distribution so each cluster has fresh strawberry flavor.
- Form Clusters and Chill: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming small clusters. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let them set and firm up before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat yogurt for better texture and richer taste.
- Make sure strawberries are thoroughly dried to prevent soggy clusters.
- Do not overmix chocolate chips to keep them intact for melty bursts.
- If short on time, freeze clusters for 30 minutes to speed up setting.
- Store clusters in airtight containers to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
