Combine Ingredients
Add the chopped strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Combine thoroughly.
Scoop Mixture
Use a spoon to add scoops of the yogurt mixture (about 2 tbsp) to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or large plate to form the clusters. You should be able to make 10 clusters.
Freeze Clusters
Next, place the baking sheet with the yogurt clusters in the freezer. Freeze until they are completely frozen and solid, about 1-2 hours.
Melt Chocolate
Once the clusters are frozen, melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15 or 30-second intervals, stirring in between each one, until the chocolate is melted.
Dip Clusters
Remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer and carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate. I recommend using a spoon to ensure each cluster is thoroughly coated. Once coated with chocolate, place each cluster back on the prepared baking sheet. Add a sprinkle of sea salt if you’d like.
Harden Chocolate
Place the clusters back in the freezer for a few minutes to ensure the chocolate hardens and yogurt solidifies a bit. Enjoy!
How to Store It
