Strawberry & Banana Yoghurt Clusters (Printable)

Creamy frozen Greek yogurt clusters swirled with strawberry and honey, loaded with crunchy freeze-dried strawberries and banana chips for a refreshing bite-sized treat.

# What You'll 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 - Pinch of salt

→ Fruit Mix-ins

06 - ¾ cup freeze-dried strawberries, roughly crushed
07 - ¾ cup freeze-dried banana chips, coarsely chopped

→ 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 or tray 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 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 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, or until clusters are firm.
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 enjoying.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They take less than 20 minutes to throw together, then the freezer does all the work while you nap or binge a show.
  • Each cluster delivers a satisfying crunch from the freeze-dried fruit that softens into creamy sweetness as it melts.
  • You can make a big batch on Sunday and grab one whenever you need a guilt-free treat that feels like dessert.
02 -
  • Dont overmix the strawberry swirl or youll lose that gorgeous marbled effect and end up with plain pink yogurt.
  • If you skip the resting time before eating, the clusters will be rock-hard and youll miss out on that melt-in-your-mouth creaminess.
  • Always check the labels on banana chips and freeze-dried fruit if you have allergies, because some brands process them in facilities with nuts or gluten.
03 -
  • Use two spoons to shape each cluster instead of your hands, which will warm the yogurt and make it melt before it even hits the tray.
  • Press the reserved fruit gently but firmly into the tops so it doesnt fall off when you move the clusters to a container.
  • If you want extra indulgence, drizzle honey over the clusters just before serving for a glossy finish and deeper sweetness.
