Ingredients
I am highlighting just the ones that need further explanation. The complete list is in the recipe card below.
- Greek yogurt - I recommend using full fat for best results. Regular yogurt will result in thinner texture and more icy cluster. You can use plain yogurt or flavored yogurt like this vanilla yogurt, strawberry yogurt, or peanut butter yogurt.
- Strawberries - fresh strawberries are best for this recipe. But if you want to use frozen strawberries, be sure to thaw slightly but not fully otherwise they will be too wet.
- Optional Stir-ins - you can keep this simple by just mixing yogurt and strawberries or stir in peanut butter (or other nut butter of choice, like cashew butter) or a sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or date syrup for extra flavor.
- Chocolate (optional) - I like to use chocolate chips but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. Milk chocolate, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate, they will all work! To melt, you can microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can use the double boiler method.
- Oil - helps create a thin and smooth chocolate coating
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: In a bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, yogurt, and optional peanut butter, maple syrup, honey, or date syrup.
Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop small clusters, 2-3 tablespoons of the strawberry mixture onto the parchment paper. Leave some space between each cluster. Freeze for at least an hour or until the clusters are firm.
Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt chocolate chips along with coconut oil or olive oil in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until smooth.
Step 4: Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and dip each cluster into the melted chocolate using two forks, or drizzle the chocolate over the top. Ensure each cluster is coated to your liking. Place back in the freezer for 10 minutes to ensure chocolate hardens.
Tips for Success
- Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup. This is a must!!
- For babies and toddlers, make the clusters small and leave out the chocolate coating. They will still be delicious without. Thaw until the yogurt starts to melt to make it easier to eat.
- Work quickly when dipping the yogurt clusters as the chocolate will harden quickly from the cold clusters.
Variations
- Try with different fruit - blueberries, grapes, pineapple, peaches, mangoes, kiwi, banana. Here's how to make blueberry yogurt clusters.
- Mix-in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or granola (try this no added sugar granola) for some crunch and extra deliciousness.
Storage
Once frozen, transfer the frozen strawberry clusters to a freezer-safe bag or container and keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Looks great and like something my almost 3 yr old might actually eat! But looks like it could get really messy with the chocolate melting in fingers?

Hi! Actually the chocolate won't melt that quickly :). But yes can get messy once everything starts to melt, although I have a feeling it will disappear before that happens!
