The Simple Ingredients
I love how simple this ingredient list is. You probably have most of these items in your kitchen right now.
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Let’s Get Cooking! (The Step-by-Step)
Follow these simple steps for perfect results. It’s so easy, you’ll have it memorized after the first time.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is perfectly smooth and well-combined.
- Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries. Be careful not to overmix. You want to see lovely red streaks throughout.
- Use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave a little space between each one.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer. Let the clusters freeze for at least one hour until they are solid to the touch.
- While the clusters are freezing, melt the chocolate. Combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each one. Continue until the chocolate is completely melted and glossy.
- Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer. Quickly dip the bottom of each cluster into the melted chocolate, or drizzle the chocolate over the top.
- Return the clusters to the baking sheet and place them back in the freezer. Let the chocolate set for about 10-15 minutes.
- Once the chocolate is firm, your treats are ready! Serve immediately or store them for later.

Nutrition Information
For a fuller snack, serve them with a handful of almonds or a small cheese plate. They make a great addition to a brunch spread alongside fresh fruit, or try them with a savory option like our puff pastry croque madame.
You can also crumble them over a bowl of plain yogurt for a delightful parfait. The possibilities are truly endless and always delicious.
Make This Recipe Your Own (Quick Swaps)
Don’t be afraid to get creative! This recipe is wonderfully adaptable to what you have on hand.
Swap the strawberries for raspberries or blueberries. You can use any berry you love or have in the fridge.
Try using white chocolate or milk chocolate instead of dark. You can also add a sprinkle of shredded coconut or chopped nuts before the chocolate sets.
How to Store Leftovers (If You Have Any!)
These clusters are best kept frozen to maintain their perfect texture. They are a fantastic make-ahead treat.
Store them in a single layer in an airtight container. Place parchment paper between layers if you need to stack them.
They will keep well in the freezer for up to two months. You can grab one straight from the freezer whenever a craving hits, just like our easy crockpot potato soup that’s perfect for meal prep.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use a different type of yogurt?
Yes, absolutely. I prefer Greek yogurt for its thickness, but regular plain yogurt will also work. Just know the clusters might be a bit softer.
Is there a nut-free alternative to peanut butter?
Of course! Sunflower seed butter is a fantastic and delicious nut-free option. It works perfectly in this recipe.
How long can they stay out of the freezer?
They can sit out for about 15-20 minutes before they start to soften too much. For the best experience, enjoy them cold straight from the freezer.
I hope this recipe brings a little bit of easy joy to your busy day. It’s a treat you can feel good about sharing with everyone.
