These gorgeous Cherry & Raspberry Vanilla Yoghurt Clusters turned out so delicious. I’ve had the idea to make a snack like this for ages – it’s honestly the most scrumptious fruit snack! 😍

They’re really straightforward to make, but there are a few little ingredients I added that make all the difference. The best part is you can swap in whatever fruit you’ve got lurking in your fridge – strawberries, blueberries, even chopped mango would be amazing!

You bite through the chocolate and the contrast with the creamy yoghurt and fresh fruit is gorgeous. Perfect for when you want something that looks fancy but won’t stress you out in the kitchen.

Makes approximately 20-25 bite-sized clusters

Ingredients

For the fruit mixture:

• 200g fresh cherries, pitted and halved
• 150g fresh raspberries
• 50g pistachios, roughly chopped
• 1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped (or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste)
• 2 tbsp honey
• 300g thick Greek yoghurt

For the chocolate coating:

• 500g good quality milk chocolate, chopped

Method

1. Prepare the fruit mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherries, raspberries, and chopped pistachios. Add the vanilla bean seeds and honey, then mix gently to distribute.
2. Add yoghurt: Fold in the Greek yoghurt until all fruit is well coated and the mixture holds together.
3. Form clusters: Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, place small clusters (about 2-3cm across) onto baking trays lined with parchment paper. You should have roughly 20-25 clusters.
4. First freeze: Place trays in the freezer for at least 2 hours until clusters are completely solid.
5. Prepare chocolate: Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Working quickly, dip each frozen cluster into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Return to lined trays and then to the freezer for another 30 minutes until chocolate is completely set.

Storage

Keep frozen in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Allow to sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving for the perfect texture contrast.
