Instructions

Prep Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the full-fat Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, almond extract, and fine sea salt until smooth. This creates your flavorful yogurt base for the clusters.
Add Strawberries: Gently fold in your finely diced fresh strawberries and the crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the yogurt mixture. Distribute them evenly to ensure every bite of your Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters has fruity goodness.
Form Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using two spoons, drop small, irregular clusters of the yogurt mixture onto the paper. Aim for about 12 clusters; they don’t need to be perfect.
Freeze Clusters: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Freeze the clusters for at least 2-3 hours, or until they are completely firm and set. This is crucial for their delightful crispy texture.
Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted. This will be your luscious chocolate drizzle.
Drizzle & Serve: Remove the frozen Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Clusters from the freezer. Drizzle generously with the melted chocolate. Add optional pistachios and flaky sea salt, then refreeze for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy your refreshing treat!
