Strawberry Banana Yoghurt Clusters (Printable Version)

Frozen Greek yogurt clusters with strawberry swirl, honey, and crispy freeze-dried strawberries and banana chips.

# What You Need:

→ Yogurt Base

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 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

# How To Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until smooth.
03 - Divide the yogurt mixture equally between two separate bowls.
04 - To one bowl, add the strawberry-flavored yogurt. Gently fold to create a marbled swirl without fully blending for a streaked effect.
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 them about 1 inch apart. Repeat with the plain yogurt mixture on the other side.
07 - Sprinkle the reserved freeze-dried strawberries and banana chips on top of each cluster, pressing gently so they adhere.
08 - Freeze the tray for at least 2 hours until clusters are firm.
09 - Transfer frozen 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 2-3 minutes before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No machine, no patience required, just spoon, freeze, and forget until cravings strike.
  • Each cluster delivers that satisfying crunch-then-melt contrast that keeps you reaching for one more.
  • You can make a double batch in the same time it takes to debate which pint to buy at the store.
02 -
  • Low-fat yogurt can turn rock-hard and icy, so splurge on full-fat if you want creamy bites instead of frozen pucks.
  • If you skip the resting time after pulling them from the freezer, you will chip a tooth or give up halfway through, trust me on this one.
  • Parchment paper is non-negotiable because wax paper will stick and ruin your clusters before you even taste them.
03 -
  • Use a small cookie scoop to portion clusters evenly so they freeze and thaw at the same rate.
  • Drizzle melted dark chocolate over frozen clusters and refreeze for a shell that cracks under your teeth like magic.
  • Double the batch and invite a friend to help assemble, because the best part is licking the spoons together and laughing at the mess.
