Ingredients Overview

You’ll find exact measurements in the recipe card below. Here’s how the ingredients work together.

For the yogurt clusters

Strawberries (chopped) — Fresh strawberries add natural sweetness and a pop of color. You can also use blueberries, chopped mango, or raspberries if you want to switch things up.
Unsweetened coconut yogurt — The creamy base of the clusters. Coconut yogurt is dairy-free, tangy, and has a nice thick consistency that freezes well. Make sure it’s unsweetened so you can control the sweetness.
Raw honey — Adds just enough natural sweetness to balance the tartness of the yogurt and the fruit. You can swap for maple syrup if you prefer.

For the chocolate coating

Dark chocolate chips — Use quality dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cacao) for the best flavor and to keep these dairy-free. The dark chocolate adds richness and balances the sweetness of the yogurt.
Coconut oil — Stirred into the melted chocolate to thin it slightly and create a smooth, glossy coating that hardens perfectly in the freezer.

How To Make Dark Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters

Here’s how it comes together.

Step 1: Prep your baking sheet. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps the clusters from sticking and makes cleanup easy.

Step 2: Mix the yogurt filling. In a bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, coconut yogurt, and honey. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed. Pro tip: make sure the strawberries are cut into small, bite-sized pieces so each cluster holds together well.

Step 3: Freeze the clusters. Use a spoon to scoop about 3 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming clusters. Repeat until all the mixture is used up. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for about 90 minutes, until the clusters are completely frozen and solid.

Step 4: Melt the chocolate. Combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30–45 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Pro tip: don’t overheat the chocolate or it can seize up. Stir frequently and stop as soon as it’s smooth.

Step 5: Dip the clusters. Remove a few frozen clusters at a time from the freezer. Use a fork to dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, turning to coat fully, then lift with the fork and let excess chocolate drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all clusters are coated. Pro tip: work quickly so the clusters don’t start to soften while you’re dipping.

Step 6: Freeze until set. Return the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze until the chocolate coating has hardened, about 15–20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer.

Storage, Reheating & Make Ahead

Freezer storage Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. These are meant to be eaten straight from the freezer — they’re the perfect grab-and-go frozen treat.

Make ahead tips These are designed to be made ahead and kept in the freezer. Make a big batch and you’ll have a healthy snack or dessert ready anytime.

Substitutions and Variations

If you want a different fruit — Blueberries, chopped mango, raspberries, or blackberries all work beautifully in place of strawberries.
If you don’t have coconut yogurt — Greek yogurt or any thick, creamy yogurt works. Just make sure it’s unsweetened so you control the sweetness.
If you want to skip the honey — Maple syrup works as a 1:1 swap for a vegan version.
If you want a thinner chocolate coating — Drizzle the melted chocolate over the frozen clusters instead of fully dipping them. It uses less chocolate and gives a lighter coating.
If you want extra crunch — Sprinkle the freshly dipped clusters with chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or cacao nibs before the chocolate hardens.
Different yogurt flavors — Vanilla coconut yogurt or plain almond milk yogurt both work well if you want to try something different.
