Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain for a neutral base or flavored for added sweetness)

1 cup granola (select your favorite variety for texture and taste)

1/2 cup mixed nuts (chopped almonds, walnuts, and pecans for variety)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for a natural sweetener)

1/2 cup fresh or dried fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices, or raisins for a fruity burst)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, enhances flavor)

A pinch of sea salt (to balance sweetness)

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt. Pour in the honey or maple syrup along with the vanilla extract, if using. Use a whisk or spatula to blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.

    Add the Crunch: Carefully fold in the granola, chopped mixed nuts, and your choice of fresh or dried fruit into the yogurt mixture. Use a spatula to gently combine, ensuring that all the ingredients are evenly coated without crushing the granola.

      Prep the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is crucial as it prevents sticking and simplifies cleanup post-freezing.

        Shape the Clusters: With a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave space (about 2 inches) between each cluster to allow for slight expansion.

          Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for approximately 3-4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Serve: Once the clusters are frozen solid, gently remove them from the baking sheet. Store the clusters in an airtight container in the freezer. These can be enjoyed straight from the freezer like a delightful cool snack!

              Optional: For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle additional honey over the clusters before serving.

                  Presentation Tips: Serve the frozen clusters in a decorative bowl, garnished with a sprig of mint or a few extra berries on the side for a pop of color. Enjoy your refreshing treat!
