Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup slivered almonds, toasted

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for a chocolatey twist)

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well until fully combined and creamy.

    Incorporate Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to over-mash them; you want to retain some berry chunks for texture.

      Add Almonds: Fold in the toasted slivered almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.

        Shape the Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop tablespoon-sized clusters of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper. Space them a few inches apart to allow for freezing.

          Sprinkle Cocoa (Optional): If you want to add a chocolatey layer, sift a light sprinkle of cocoa powder over each cluster before freezing.

            Freeze: Pop the baking sheet into the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze for at least 3 hours or until completely solid.

              Serve: Once frozen, remove the clusters from the parchment paper and place them in an airtight container. Garnish with additional fresh raspberries if desired. Serve straight from the freezer and enjoy your cool treat!
