Ingredients

Vanilla Greek Yogurt (3/4 cup): Use 2-5% fat vanilla Greek yogurt for creaminess and tangy flavor that binds the clusters seamlessly.
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries (1 cup): Thawed and patted dry, these juicy berries add natural sweetness and a vibrant burst of antioxidants.
Chopped Walnuts (1/2 cup): Adds a satisfying crunchy texture and beneficial omega fats to the clusters.
Flaky Sea Salt (Pinch): Optional finishing touch that enhances the sweetness and adds a delicate crunch.
Dark Chocolate Chips (1 1/2 cups, 60% cacao): Provides a rich, smooth coating with antioxidants and deep chocolate flavor.
Coconut Oil (3 tablespoons): Helps melt and thin the chocolate for an even and glossy coating.

Instructions

Prepare Baking Surface: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup. This helps maintain the cluster shapes while freezing.
Combine Yogurt Mixture: In a medium bowl, gently fold together the vanilla Greek yogurt, blueberries, and chopped walnuts. Mixing carefully prevents the berries from breaking and keeps the clusters intact.
Form Clusters: Scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them to form 12-16 clusters. This portioning ensures every cluster is bite-sized.
Initial Freeze: Place the clusters in the freezer for 1 to 1.5 hours until they are completely firm. This freezing step is crucial for maintaining their shape during chocolate coating.
Melt Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until fully melted and smooth. Let cool for a few minutes to prevent melting the frozen clusters when dipped.
Dip Clusters in Chocolate: Remove clusters from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate using two forks to coat evenly while allowing excess chocolate to drip off. This creates a beautiful glossy chocolate shell.
Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle a light pinch of flaky sea salt on each coated cluster while the chocolate is still wet to add a contrast of flavor and texture.
Final Freeze and Set: Return the chocolate-coated clusters to the baking sheet and freeze or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely, locking in freshness and flavor.

You Must Know

For a dairy-free version, substitute the Greek yogurt with your favorite plant-based yogurt alternative.
Store these clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month to maintain freshness and texture.
Ensure blueberries are well dried after thawing to prevent excess moisture turning the clusters soggy.

Storage Tips

Professional Tips

Use a silicone spatula to gently fold ingredients to keep the blueberries whole and prevent breaking.
Microwave chocolate carefully to avoid burning; smooth chocolate coating is key to an appealing presentation.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries directly without thawing?: It’s best to thaw and pat dry frozen blueberries first to avoid excess moisture, which can prevent clusters from setting properly.
What if I don’t have coconut oil?: You can substitute coconut oil with a neutral oil like vegetable or canola. It helps maintain smoothness in the melted chocolate.
Are these clusters suitable for kids?: Yes, these treats are healthy, with natural sweetness and minimal added sugar, making them a great option for kids.
Can I use other nuts?: Absolutely! Pecans, almonds, or pistachios can be used instead of walnuts, adding different flavors and textures.
How long can I store them in the fridge?: They are best stored frozen for up to a month, but can be kept in the fridge for 2-3 days before texture starts to change.
Can I double the recipe?: Yes, doubling the ingredients works well; just make sure you have enough freezer space and parchment-lined trays.
Is dark chocolate necessary?: Dark chocolate adds health benefits and balances sweetness, but you can use milk or semi-sweet chocolate according to your preference.
