Chocolate Covered Blueberry Yogurt Clusters
These Chocolate Covered Blueberry Yogurt Clusters are a better-for-you sweet treat that everyone in the family will love. Fresh blueberries are mixed with Greek yogurt and then frozen. Then, they’re dipped in melted semi-sweet chocolate and frozen to create a rich, frozen treat.
This recipe has gone viral recently. Seems like everyone is making these delicious, chocolate coated blueberry yogurt cluster. I think these are a great alternative to ice cream. While I’m a big fan of sweet treats, I do my best to tweak them to make them at least a little bit healthier, which is exactly what this recipe is all about. The Greek yogurt adds extra protein, and sweetening the bites with honey is better for you than using sugar.
Chocolate Covered Blueberry Yogurt Clusters
These delicious chocolate covered blueberry yogurt clusters begin with a mixture of blueberries and yogurt that is frozen until hardened. Then, I dip the blueberry yogurt bites into melted chocolate and freeze again until they’re hardened. The chocolate sometimes freezes up right after you dip them in the ice cold yogurt cluster. When all done, I have a rich, delicious frozen treat that’s so satisfying. It’s a treat that everyone always loves. From kids to adults, no one can get enough of them!

How to Make Chocolate Covered Blueberry Yogurt Clusters
Making this recipe is very simple. You just need to do a little mixing and a little freezing. That’s pretty much it.
Step 1: Make the Clusters
Mix the yogurt, vanilla, and honey in a large mixing bowl. Then, gently stir in the blueberries to coat. Try to keep the blueberries from breaking up.
Step 2: Chill
Drop the mixture by the spoonful onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until hardened – about 20 minutes. You may need up to 30 minutes but, no longer.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwaveable bowl and heat at 20-second intervals until melted, smooth and with a slight shine. Let the mixture cool for a minute or two minutes, stirring the almost the entire time.
Step 4: Dip
Remove the frozen blueberry clusters from the freezer and dip them into the chocolate. Place them back on the rimmed baking sheet and let set. This should only take a couple of minutes. No longer. THESE ARE BEST WHEN EATED RIGHT AWAY. If you need to store the clusters, put back in the freezer and when ready to eat at another time, let sit out on the counter for at least 5 to 10 minutes to soften up. Enjoy!

Tips

Refrigerate these clusters for up to 1 day in an air-tight container. For longer storage, you can freeze these clusters for up to 1 week in an air-tight, freezer-safe container.
