Enjoy these creamy, fruity frozen clusters. Greek yogurt with strawberry, banana chips, and honey for a refreshing, crisp bite.
# Components:
→ Yogurt Base
01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, preferably full-fat
02 - ½ cup strawberry-flavored yogurt
03 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
04 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - Small pinch salt
→ Fruit Mix-ins
06 - ¾ cup freeze-dried strawberries, roughly crushed
07 - ¾ cup freeze-dried banana chips, coarsely chopped
→ For Topping
08 - 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries, reserved
09 - 2 tablespoons freeze-dried banana chips, reserved
# Method:
01 - Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to prevent clusters from sticking during freezing.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until completely smooth and incorporated.
03 - Split the yogurt mixture equally between two separate bowls to prepare for different flavor variations.
04 - Add the strawberry-flavored yogurt to one bowl. Gently fold to create a marbled swirl effect; do not fully blend to maintain attractive streaks.
05 - Into each bowl, fold in half of the freeze-dried strawberries and banana chips, reserving 2 tablespoons of each fruit for topping. Stir gently to keep fruit pieces intact.
06 - Using two spoons, drop heaped spoonfuls of the strawberry-swirl yogurt mixture onto one side of the prepared tray, spacing about 1 inch apart. Repeat with the banana chunk yogurt mixture on the other side.
07 - Sprinkle the reserved freeze-dried strawberries and banana chips on top of each cluster, pressing gently to ensure they adhere to the surface.
08 - Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until clusters are completely firm and solid throughout.
09 - Once frozen solid, transfer clusters to an airtight container or resealable bag with parchment between layers to prevent sticking. Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
10 - Let clusters sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before serving to achieve the ideal texture for eating.
