Frozen Blueberry Greek Yogurt Clusters

Description

These frozen clusters combine juicy blueberries with creamy Greek yogurt, then get dipped or drizzled in chocolate and frozen into bite-sized treats. They’re refreshing, slightly tangy, naturally sweet, and perfect for hot weather or a guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ cup dark or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Mix Base
    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  2. Add Blueberries
    Gently fold in blueberries until well coated.
  3. Form Clusters
    Line a tray with parchment paper. Spoon small clusters (about 1–2 tbsp each) onto the tray.
  4. Freeze
    Freeze for 1–2 hours or until solid.
  5. Melt Chocolate
    Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (microwave in short bursts or use double boiler).
  6. Coat or Drizzle
    Dip each frozen cluster into melted chocolate or drizzle on top.
  7. Final Freeze
    Return to freezer for 10–15 minutes until chocolate hardens

Servings

  • Makes: ~12–15 clusters
  • Serving size: 2–3 clusters

Notes

  • Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture (runny yogurt won’t hold shape well).
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw—they can make the mixture watery.
  • Chocolate coating is optional but adds a dessert-like feel.

Tips for Best Results

  • For cleaner shapes, freeze clusters before shaping slightly (10–15 mins).
  • Use a small cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
  • Add granola or crushed nuts for crunch.
  • Keep clusters frozen until serving—they soften quickly.

Q & A

A: Up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in the freezer.

Q: Can I make them vegan?
A: Yes—use plant-based yogurt and dairy-free chocolate.

Q: Why are my clusters icy?
A: Likely due to excess water (from thawed fruit or thin yogurt).

Q: Can I skip the chocolate?
A: Absolutely—they’re still delicious and lower in calories.
