Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Yogurt
- 2 cups strawberries, chopped
- 1 large banana, chopped
- ½ cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon honey
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
Topping
- Chopped roasted and salted peanuts, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Mix: In a large bowl, gently combine the chopped strawberries, banana, plain Greek yogurt, and honey until evenly mixed.
- Freeze: Scoop spoonfuls of the fruit and yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place it in the freezer for about 1 hour, allowing the clusters to firm up.
- Melt chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together either in 30-second increments in the microwave or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- Coat: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer and carefully coat each cluster with the melted chocolate by spooning the chocolate over them. Avoid dipping to prevent chocolate from hardening too quickly on contact.
- Top: Immediately sprinkle the chocolate-coated clusters with chopped roasted and salted peanuts before the chocolate sets.
- Serve: Return the clusters to the freezer until the chocolate is fully hardened. Enjoy chilled as a refreshing and nutritious treat.
Notes
- Use full fat Greek yogurt for optimal creaminess and flavor.
- Be cautious when coating clusters with chocolate to prevent premature hardening.
- Store leftover clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- You can substitute dark chocolate chips with semi-sweet or milk chocolate if preferred.
- For a nut-free option, omit the peanuts or substitute with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
