Wholesome Blueberry Yogurt Clusters (Print version)

Nutritious clusters of blueberry, vanilla yogurt, walnuts, and dark chocolate in a frozen snack form.

# Required ingredients:

→ Yogurt Base

01 - 3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt, 2-5% fat

→ Fruit and Nuts

02 - 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed and patted dry
03 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
04 - Pinch flaky sea salt, optional

→ Chocolate Coating

05 - 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips, 60% cacao
06 - 3 tablespoons coconut oil

# How to make it:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
02 - In a medium bowl, gently fold together Greek yogurt, blueberries, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
03 - Scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing clusters 2 inches apart. Create 12 to 16 portions.
04 - Transfer baking sheet to freezer for 1 to 1.5 hours until clusters are completely firm.
05 - Place dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between bursts, until completely melted and smooth. Allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
06 - Remove frozen clusters from freezer. Using two forks, dip each cluster into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip away. Return coated clusters to baking sheet.
07 - Sprinkle each chocolate-coated cluster lightly with flaky sea salt if desired.
08 - Return clusters to freezer or refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes until chocolate coating is completely set.
09 - Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container. Freeze up to 2 weeks. Let sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 minutes before eating for optimal texture.
