How to Make Easy Frozen Mandarin Orange Yogurt Clusters
- In a large bowl, add the chopped mandarin orange slices and vegan Greek yogurt to a large bowl. Combine thoroughly.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, place scoops of the Greek yogurt mixture on top of a parchment paper lined baking pan, you’ll get about 9 clusters.
- Transfer the yogurt clusters to the freezer so they freeze solid. They must be frozen solid so you can dip them in the melted chocolate, so either freeze about 1-2 hours or overnight.
How to Melt and Dip Chocolate Mandarin Orange Yogurt Clusters
- When you’re ready to dip them in chocolate, add the chocolate chunks or chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each one, until the chocolate is melted.
- Now it’s time to dip, so remove the frozen yogurt clusters from the freezer and dip each of the clusters separately into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to ensure each cluster is thoroughly coated working quickly. TIP: If for some reason your yogurt clusters are melting into the chocolate, they aren’t frozen enough or the yogurt mixture is getting too warm. So put them back in the freezer to firm back up.
- Once the clusters are fully coated with chocolate, place them back on the prepared baking sheet. Add a sprinkle of sea salt once you dip them if you desire. The chocolate will harden quickly.
- Once they are all coated, transfer clusters back in the freezer to firm the clusters throughout for 20- 30 minutes, then bite into some yumminess!
