6. Dip each frozen yogurt cluster into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
7. Place the dipped clusters back on the parchment-lined tray and sprinkle immediately with flaky sea salt.
8. Freeze for another 30 minutes, or until fully set.
9. Store the clusters in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to serve.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries?

It is best to use fresh strawberries. Frozen strawberries may release too much moisture and affect the texture.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, use dairy-free Greek-style yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips for a completely vegan version.

What can I substitute for coconut oil?

You can use any neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil, but coconut oil helps the chocolate set faster and smoother.

How long do these last in the freezer?

They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container.

Can I skip the sea salt topping?

Yes, the sea salt is optional, but it adds a pleasant contrast to the sweetness of the chocolate and yogurt.

Do I need to temper the chocolate?

No tempering is necessary. The coconut oil helps the chocolate coat evenly and harden smoothly in the freezer.

What size should the clusters be?

Each cluster should be about 1.5 tablespoons in size for easy, bite-sized portions.

Will these melt quickly once out of the freezer?

Yes, they will start to soften within a few minutes. Keep them frozen until ready to serve.
