- Yogurt Base
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat for creaminess)
- ½ cup strawberry-flavored yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Small pinch salt
- Fruit Mix-ins
- ¾ cup freeze-dried strawberries, roughly crushed
- ¾ cup freeze-dried banana chips, coarsely chopped
- For Topping
- 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries, reserved
- 2 tablespoons freeze-dried banana chips, reserved
Instructions
- Step 1
- Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
- Step 2
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until smooth.
- Step 3
- Divide the yogurt mixture equally between two bowls.
- Step 4
- To one bowl, add the strawberry-flavored yogurt. Gently fold to create a marbled swirl; do not fully blend for a streaked effect.
- Step 5
- Into each bowl, fold in half of the freeze-dried strawberries and banana chips, reserving 2 tablespoons of each fruit for topping. Stir gently to keep the fruit pieces intact.
- Step 6
- Using two spoons, drop heaped spoonfuls of the strawberry-swirl yogurt mixture onto one side of the prepared tray, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Repeat with the banana chunk yogurt mixture on the other side.
- Step 7
- Sprinkle the reserved freeze-dried strawberries and banana chips on top of each cluster, pressing gently so they adhere.
- Step 8
- Freeze the tray for at least 2 hours, or until clusters are firm.
- Step 9
- Once frozen solid, transfer clusters to an airtight container or resealable bag with parchment between layers to prevent sticking. Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Step 10
- To serve, let clusters sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before enjoying.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For a creamier texture, ensure you use full-fat Greek yogurt. To maintain the best shape, freeze the clusters on a level shelf so they don't slide or merge together.

Varianten und Anpassungen
You can make these clusters vegan by swapping honey for agave or brown rice syrup. For added flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the yogurt, or drizzle with melted dark chocolate after they have frozen.
Serviervorschläge
To enjoy the perfect consistency, let the clusters rest at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before eating. This allows them to soften just enough to be creamy while remaining cold and refreshing.
Merken Whether you enjoy them as a quick afternoon snack or a light dessert, these Strawberry & Banana Yoghurt Clusters are a vibrant and healthy addition to your freezer repertoire.
Rezept-Fragen & Antworten
- → Wie lange können die Joghurt-Clusters gelagert werden?
Die gefrorenen Clusters halten sich in einem luftdichten Behälter bis zu zwei Wochen im Gefrierschrank. Legen Pergamentpapier zwischen die Schichten, damit sie nicht aneinanderkleben.
- → Kann ich die Joghurt-Clusters vegan zubereiten?
Ja, ersetzen Sie einfach den Honig durch Agavendicksaft oder Reissirup. Verwenden Sie stattdessen pflanzlichen Joghurt, um die Variante vollständig vegan zu gestalten.
- → Warum muss der Joghurt vor dem Servieren kurz auftauen?
Ein paar Minuten bei Zimmertemperatur machen die Clusters etwas weicher und angenehmer zu genießen. Sie sollten aber noch fest genug sein, um nicht sofort zu schmelzen.
- → Welche Joghurt-Sorte eignet sich am besten?
Griechischer Vollfettjoghurt liefert die cremigste Konsistenz. Magerprodukte können etwas wässriger werden und beeinflussen die Geschmackstiefe der Clusters.
- → Kann ich andere Früchte verwenden?
Absolut, probieren Sie getrocknete Himbeeren, Heidelbeeren oder Mango. Die Erdbeer-Banane-Kombination bleibt jedoch ein Klassiker mit perfektem süß-säuerlichem Ausgleich.
- → Warum werden die Clusters auf zwei Schalen verteilt?
Das Trennen der Mischungen ermöglicht schön gemusterte Clusters mit zwei Geschmacksrichtungen. Sie können die Mischungen auch vermischen, wenn Sie eine einheitliche Sorte bevorzugen.
