Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (you can use plain or vanilla for added flavor)

1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or melting chocolate for easier dipping)

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of natural sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, enhances flavor)

Sea salt (optional, for a savory finish)

Chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts, optional, for extra crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, blend the Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract (if using). Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

    Incorporate the Cherries: Gently fold the halved cherries into the yogurt mixture, ensuring each cherry piece is evenly coated with the yogurt blend.

      Form the Clusters: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, drop generous spoonfuls of the yogurt-cherry mixture. Shape them into clusters, roughly 1 inch in diameter.

        Freeze the Clusters: Carefully place the baking sheet into the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they are fully solid.

          Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips by heating them in 30-second intervals. Stir in between intervals until the chocolate is completely smooth and free of lumps.

            Coat the Clusters: Once frozen, remove the yogurt clusters from the freezer. Dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the cluster back onto the baking sheet.

              Garnish (Optional): If you desire, sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt or a generous amount of chopped nuts on top of each chocolate-coated cluster. This adds an extra layer of flavor and delightful texture.

                Final Freeze: Return the baking sheet with the chocolate-covered clusters to the freezer. Let them freeze for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden fully.

                  Serve: Once the chocolate is set, remove the clusters from the freezer. Enjoy these delicious Frozen Chocolate Cherry Yogurt Clusters immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer, where they will keep for up to 2 weeks.
