Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters are a refreshing, sweet, and satisfying snack that feels indulgent but is made with simple, wholesome ingredients. I mix juicy strawberries into creamy yogurt, freeze them into bite-sized clusters, and then dip them in melted chocolate for the perfect frozen treat. They’re great for warm days, light desserts, or anytime I want something sweet without the guilt.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s ridiculously easy, quick to make, and perfect for keeping on hand in the freezer. The sweet-tart flavor of strawberries pairs so well with smooth yogurt, and the chocolate shell gives every bite a satisfying crunch. It’s the kind of treat that tastes like dessert but doesn’t leave me feeling heavy. Plus, I can tweak it with different fruits or toppings depending on what I’m craving.

ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Fresh strawberries, chopped
Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Coconut oil (optional, to smooth the melted chocolate)
Sea salt or crushed nuts for topping (optional)

directions

I wash and chop the strawberries into small pieces.
In a bowl, I mix the strawberries with yogurt and a little honey if I want extra sweetness.
I scoop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them out so they don’t touch.
I freeze the clusters for about 1–2 hours, or until they’re firm and easy to handle.
While they freeze, I melt the chocolate chips with a bit of coconut oil in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
Once the clusters are solid, I dip or drizzle them with melted chocolate and return them to the baking sheet.
I sprinkle sea salt or chopped nuts on top if I’m feeling fancy, then freeze them again for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
I keep them in a sealed container in the freezer until I’m ready to enjoy.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 10–12 clusters. It takes just 10 minutes to prep and about 2 hours total for freezing and finishing, so it’s a quick and easy make-ahead treat.

Variations

Sometimes I mix in blueberries or raspberries along with the strawberries, or use flavored yogurt like vanilla or honey. For extra crunch, I stir in granola or chopped almonds before freezing. I’ve also used white chocolate or dark chocolate drizzle depending on my mood, and sometimes even roll the clusters in crushed graham crackers before freezing for a cheesecake-inspired vibe.

storage/reheating

I store these in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. I don’t reheat them—just let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before eating if they’re too hard straight from the freezer.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries?

I don’t recommend it—they release too much water and make the yogurt runny. Fresh strawberries work best for firm, creamy clusters.

What kind of yogurt works best?

I prefer thick Greek yogurt, but any full-fat or non-fat yogurt works. If it’s too runny, the clusters may not hold together as well.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, I use coconut or almond milk yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips when I want a vegan version.

How do I keep the chocolate from cracking?

Let the clusters sit out for a couple of minutes before eating. That helps the chocolate soften just enough to avoid breaking too hard.

Are these kid-friendly?

Absolutely. They’re a fun, healthy treat that kids love—and they can even help mix and dip them for a fun kitchen activity.

Conclusion

Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters are one of my favorite freezer snacks—simple, sweet, and endlessly customizable. They’re the kind of treat I love having on hand for hot afternoons, post-dinner cravings, or anytime I want something a little sweet without the fuss. Cool, creamy, fruity, and chocolatey—what more could I ask for in a bite-sized dessert?
