Frozen bites of Greek yogurt and strawberries coated in crisp chocolate make a healthy snack.

# Components:

02 - Gently fold chopped strawberries into the yogurt mixture until evenly coated.
03 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They satisfy that ice cream craving but feel somehow lighter and fresher
  • The whole family gets excited when they see the container in the freezer
  • Coming together in minutes with ingredients you probably already have
02 -
  • Work fast when coating the clusters because the frozen yogurt starts to soften quickly in the chocolate
  • Room temperature chocolate seizes and turns grainy so keep your bowl away from warm spots in the kitchen
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop for perfectly uniform clusters that look restaurant quality
  • Keep your baking sheet completely level in the freezer so the chocolate does not pool to one side
