Tips & Variations

• Make sure blueberries are completely dry before coating to help the yogurt stick better.
• Use dark or white chocolate chips as an alternative to milk chocolate for different flavors.
• Add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the yogurt for a flavor twist.
• Freeze the clusters longer if you prefer a firmer bite before dipping in chocolate.

Storage

Store any leftover clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you prefer them frozen, keep them in the freezer and allow to thaw slightly before eating. Reheating is not recommended, as it will affect the texture.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

It’s best to use fresh blueberries because frozen berries release moisture which can make the yogurt coating less effective. If you must use frozen, thaw and dry them thoroughly before coating.

What type of yogurt works best for this recipe?

Vanilla Greek yogurt is ideal as it is thick and creamy, which helps it adhere well to the blueberries. You can substitute with plain Greek yogurt and add a little honey or vanilla extract for sweetness.

Fruit and Yogurt

• 2 Cups Blueberries, rinsed and dried
• 1 Cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt

Chocolate Coating

• 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
• 1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil

Optional

• Sea Salt, to sprinkle

Instructions

1. Prepare Blueberries: Wash your blueberries thoroughly and dry them well to remove excess moisture. Place the cleaned blueberries into a large mixing bowl.
2. Coat with Yogurt: Add the vanilla Greek yogurt to the bowl with the blueberries. Gently toss the blueberries until they are fully coated with yogurt.
3. Freeze Clusters: Using a spoon, scoop the yogurt-covered blueberries into 6-8 evenly sized clusters and place them onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze these clusters for 20 minutes to solidify.
4. Melt Chocolate: In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 2 increments of 30 seconds each, stirring thoroughly between increments until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

Notes

• Ensure blueberries are completely dry before coating with yogurt to help the yogurt stick better.
• Use vanilla Greek yogurt for added sweetness and flavor; plain yogurt can be substituted but might be tarter.
• The coconut oil helps make the chocolate coating smooth and easier to dip.
• Keep the clusters frozen until just before serving to maintain their shape and texture.
• Sea salt enhances the flavor contrast but is optional based on preference.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate from melting and to maintain freshness.
