These Chocolate Covered Yogurt Clusters are exactly what you need when you want a sweet treat that’s super easy to throw together. Think of them as bite-sized, creamy frozen yogurt bites dipped in a crisp chocolate shell. It is the perfect no-bake dessert or afternoon snack when you just need a little something sweet. You only need a few simple things: plain yogurt, a little honey or maple syrup to sweeten it up, fresh strawberries, and your favorite chocolate chips with a tiny bit of coconut oil for melting. Making them is a total breeze. Just mix the yogurt, fruit, and sweetener together in a bowl, then drop spoonfuls of the mix onto a baking sheet. Pop the tray into the freezer until they are completely solid. Once they are frozen hard, melt your chocolate and quickly dunk each yogurt cluster right in so it gets fully coated. Put them back in the freezer for a few minutes until the chocolate shell sets up. That is really all it takes.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes sure nothing sticks to the pan and makes cleanup a breeze later.
Step 2: Grab a medium bowl and mix together the Greek yogurt, diced strawberries, and honey until it is all completely combined.
Step 3: Scoop out about a tablespoon of the yogurt mixture and drop it onto your prepared baking sheet. Keep going until you have about 12 even clusters.
Step 4: Stick the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the clusters are rock solid. Tip: Do not rush this part. If they aren’t totally frozen, they will melt and fall apart in the warm chocolate later.
Step 5: Right before you take the clusters out of the freezer, melt your chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Do this in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until it’s perfectly smooth and glossy.
Step 6: Take the frozen clusters out. Quickly dunk each one into the melted chocolate, flip it with a fork to coat all sides, and put it back onto the parchment paper.
Step 7: Put the baking sheet back in the freezer for about 10 minutes so the chocolate shell can set up and get crunchy.
