Ingredients
Scale
Fruit and Nuts
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Dairy
- 3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (2-5% fat)
Chocolate Coating
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
Toppings
- Flaky salt (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, chopped walnuts, and vanilla Greek yogurt, stirring gently until the blueberries and nuts are well coated with the yogurt.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon or small scoop, portion out small clusters of the mixture and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Freeze Clusters: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze for about 60 minutes, or until they are firm enough to handle.
- Melt Chocolate: In a heat-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together until the mixture is smooth and glossy. This can be done using a microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently, or with a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Coat Clusters: Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Return each dipped cluster back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Salt and Freeze Again: Sprinkle flaky salt on top of each chocolate-coated cluster. Place the baking sheet back into the freezer and chill for an additional 10 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
Notes
- Use full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt depending on preference; fat content affects creaminess and freezing texture.
- Make sure clusters are fully frozen before dipping to prevent melting the yogurt mixture.
- Flaky salt enhances the flavor contrast but can be omitted or replaced with other toppings like shredded coconut or chopped nuts.
- Store clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
