Ingredients
  

For the Strawberry Yogurt Centers

  • 300 g fresh strawberries washed, hulled, and dried very well
  • 100 g plain yogurt preferably Greek-style
  • 30 g strawberry jam

For the Chocolate Shell

  • 150 g dark chocolate finely chopped
  • 50 g coconut oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Yogurt Mixture

  • Pat the washed and hulled strawberries completely dry with paper towels. This step is non-negotiable for the yogurt to adhere.
  • Dice the strawberries into small, even pieces, about 1 cm (1/2 inch) in size.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries, yogurt, and strawberry jam. Gently fold everything together with a spatula until the strawberries are evenly coated.

Freeze the Clusters

  • Line a large baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
  • Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the strawberry yogurt mixture onto the prepared sheet. Aim for clusters about the size of a heaping tablespoon. They don't need to be perfectly round—rustic is charming!
  • Space them about 2-3 cm (1 inch) apart to prevent sticking.
  • Place the tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 1.5 hours, or until the clusters are completely solid and firm to the touch. I recommend checking at the 90-minute mark. They must be frozen solid for the next step.

Make the Chocolate Coating

  • About 10 minutes before the clusters are done freezing, prepare the chocolate shell.
  • Create a double boiler: Fill a small pot with 1-2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Place a heatproof bowl (glass or metal) on top, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
  • Add the finely chopped dark chocolate and the coconut oil to the bowl.
  • Stir frequently with a silicone spatula until the mixture is completely smooth, melted, and glossy. This should only take 3-5 minutes.
  • Crucially, remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate mixture cool at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. It should be fluid but no longer warm to the touch. This prevents it from melting the frozen clusters on contact.

Dip and Coat the Clusters

  • Remove the tray of frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer.
  • Working quickly with one cluster at a time, spear it with a fork or a toothpick. Dip it into the cooled chocolate, swirling to coat it completely.
  • Let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl for a moment.
  • Place the coated cluster back onto the parchment-lined tray.
  • Repeat with the remaining clusters.

Set and Serve

  • Allow the chocolate shell to set at room temperature, which will happen quite quickly due to the cold clusters (about 5 minutes). For an extra-crisp shell, you can place the tray back in the freezer for 5 minutes to fully harden.
  • Once set, enjoy immediately or transfer to an airtight container for storage.
