Ingredients for Frozen Yogurt Clusters
Here’s everything you’ll need to make these irresistible frozen treats:

Don’t stress if you’re missing something! Here are my favorite swaps:
- Use coconut yogurt for dairy-free – just make sure it’s nice and thick
- Agave or maple syrup work instead of honey

How to Make Frozen Yogurt Clusters
Okay, let’s get to the fun part – making these delicious frozen yogurt clusters! I promise it’s so easy you’ll wonder why you haven’t been making them all along. Just follow these simple steps for perfect clusters every time.
Step 1: Mix the Yogurt Base
First, grab a medium bowl and dump in your Greek yogurt. Drizzle in that golden honey (tip: if your honey is stiff, warm it for 5 seconds in the microwave first). Add the vanilla extract too – I always add an extra splash because I love that flavor! Now, gently whisk everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. Don’t go crazy with the mixing though – we’re not trying to whip it, just combine everything nicely.
Step 2: Add Your Mix-Ins
Here’s where the magic happens! Sprinkle in your granola, chocolate chips, and cranberries. Now, grab a rubber spatula and fold everything together – that means gentle, sweeping motions from the bottom up. You want all those goodies evenly distributed without crushing the granola or overworking the yogurt. The mixture should look like a delicious yogurt party with surprises in every bite!
Step 3: Freeze to Perfection
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (trust me, this makes removal so much easier). Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the sheet – I make mine about 2 tablespoons each. Leave a little space between them so they don’t stick together. Pop them in the freezer for at least 2 hours – no cheating! They’ll be firm and ready to enjoy after that, though I sometimes leave them overnight just to be safe. That’s it – you’ve just made the easiest, tastiest frozen treat ever!

- Quick thaw hack – Let sit at room temp for 5 minutes for perfect bite-ability
- Double batch magic – They freeze beautifully, so make extra while you’re at it!
Trust me, once you get these little tricks down, you’ll be a frozen yogurt cluster pro!

Variations to Try
Once you’ve mastered the basic recipe, it’s time to get creative! Here are my favorite ways to mix it up:
- Tropical twist – Swap cranberries for chopped dried mango and mix in toasted coconut flakes
- PB&J vibes – Use peanut butter granola and strawberry jam swirls instead of honey
- Berry blast – Fold in fresh blueberries or raspberries right before freezing
- Chocolate lover’s dream – Add cocoa powder to the yogurt base and double the chocolate chips
- Nutty delight – Replace granola with chopped almonds and pecans for extra crunch
The possibilities are endless – have fun experimenting!
Storage & Serving Suggestions
Here’s my foolproof system for keeping these frozen yogurt clusters tasting fresh! Store them in an airtight container with parchment between layers – they’ll keep beautifully for up to 2 weeks (if they last that long). For serving, I love pairing them with fresh berries for breakfast or crumbling them over a fruit salad for instant dessert. My kids go crazy when I pack them in lunchboxes with a little insulated pouch to stay chilled until snack time. Pro tip: Let them sit out for just 5 minutes to take the edge off the freeze – perfect texture every time!

FAQs About Frozen Yogurt Clusters
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
You can, but the texture will be softer. Greek yogurt’s thickness helps the clusters hold their shape better when frozen. If using regular yogurt, strain it through cheesecloth for an hour first to remove excess liquid – your clusters will thank you!
How do I keep the clusters from melting too fast?
The secret is keeping them cold until right before serving! Store them in the coldest part of your freezer, and use an insulated container if taking them on-the-go. Eating them straight from the freezer? Let them sit just long enough to lose that icy bite – about 5 minutes does the trick.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Absolutely! My favorite dairy-free swap is coconut yogurt – just make sure to get the extra creamy kind. Almond milk yogurt works too, though it tends to be thinner. For vegan chocolate chips, look for brands that use cocoa butter instead of milk solids. The clusters will still taste deliciously indulgent!
