Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • to taste pinch sea salt flakes for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Strawberries: Begin by rinsing the fresh strawberries under cool water. Remove the stems and hulls, then slice each strawberry in half to create a lovely cavity for the yogurt filling.
  • Mix the Yogurt: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and honey if you prefer a sweeter taste. Whisk or stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  • Fill the Strawberries: Using a small spoon or a piping bag fitted with a round tip, take a generous scoop of the yogurt mixture and fill each strawberry half. Ensure each half is well-packed with the creamy goodness, then arrange the filled strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Freeze the Yogurt Bites: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the strawberries chill for about 30 minutes. This step allows the yogurt to firm up, making the dipping process easier.
  • Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Heat in the microwave using 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly in between each interval until the mixture is completely melted and glossy. Be careful not to overheat.
  • Dip the Strawberries: Once the yogurt-filled strawberries are ready, take them out from the freezer. Quickly dip each yogurt-filled half into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl before placing the dipped strawberries back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Garnish: While the chocolate coating is still soft, lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes over each chocolate-dipped strawberry. This adds a delightful contrast and enhances the flavor profile.
  • Chill and Serve: Return the baking sheet to the freezer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set and becomes crisp. Serve these delightful morsels chilled for a refreshing treat!
