These chocolate strawberry yoghurt clusters use Greek yoghurt with fresh strawberries, all wrapped in a rich chocolate shell. They are a no-bake, frozen dessert and offer a healthier alternative to ice cream, packing protein from yoghurt and fibre from fresh fruit.
Chop the strawberries into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yoghurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the strawberries are evenly distributed throughout the yoghurt.

Form clusters
Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop approximately 2 tablespoons of the yoghurt mixture onto the lined sheet to form clusters. You should get about 10 clusters. Shape them slightly if needed, but keep them chunky and clustered for that homemade look.

Initial freeze of the clusters
Place the baking sheet with yoghurt clusters into the freezer. Let them freeze completely until solid, approximately for 1-2 hours. Make sure they're rock-solid before moving to the next step, as this makes chocolate coating easier.

Prepare the chocolate coating
Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. The coconut oil helps create a thin, glossy coating.

Coat the clusters
Remove frozen clusters from the freezer in batches of 3-4 to prevent melting. Working quickly, use a spoon to dip each cluster into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Place coated clusters back on the parchment-lined sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Final freeze of the clusters and serve
Return all chocolate-coated clusters to the freezer for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate shell. Once hardened, transfer to an airtight container and keep frozen until ready to enjoy. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes before eating for the best texture.
