Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup almond slices (or your choice of nuts)

1/4 cup chopped dried fruits (such as cranberries or apricots)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (for optional drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: Take a large mixing bowl and add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a creamy and smooth base.

    Incorporate Coconut and Nuts: Carefully fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond slices, and chopped dried fruits into the yogurt mixture. Ensure everything is evenly combined for a delightful burst of flavor in each bite.

      Form Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal later. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper, forming small clusters. Aim to create about 12-16 clusters, spacing them a couple of inches apart to allow for freezing.

        Freeze: Place the prepared baking sheet in the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze completely, which will take about 2-3 hours.

          Drizzle with Chocolate (Optional): If you choose to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave or by using a double boiler until smooth and creamy. Once the yogurt clusters are fully frozen, remove them from the freezer and elegantly drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each cluster.

            Final Freeze: To set the chocolate, return the drizzled clusters back to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes.

              Serve and Enjoy: After the chocolate has hardened, your Sweet Coconut Yogurt Clusters are ready to enjoy! They make a refreshing snack or a sweet treat enjoyed straight from the freezer. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer, where they’ll keep well for up to a month.
