Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh raspberries

1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite flavored yogurt for added sweetness)

¼ cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1 cup sliced almonds (or your choice of nuts for variation)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Optional: dark chocolate chips for an additional drizzle

Instructions
 

Prep the Raspberries: Start by gently washing the fresh raspberries under cool water. After rinsing, carefully pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set the dried raspberries aside on a clean plate.

    Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a spatula or whisk to stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.

      Coat the Raspberries: Using a fork, take each raspberry and dip it into the yogurt mixture, making sure to coat it well on all sides. Lift the coated raspberry with the fork, allowing any excess yogurt to drip back into the bowl before placing it on the preparation surface.

        Prepare the Cluster Base: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Arrange clusters of the coated raspberries on the sheet, ensuring there is space between each raspberry to allow for freezing. While the yogurt is still wet, generously sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of each raspberry cluster to adhere to the yogurt.

          Freeze the Clusters: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the raspberry clusters to freeze for a minimum of 3-4 hours, or until the yogurt coating is completely solid.

            Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If you desire a decadent touch, melt some dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the frozen clusters for an elegant finish.

              Serve: Once your clusters are fully frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Enjoy these delightful treats immediately, or store the clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week to maintain freshness.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the clusters on a decorative platter, and consider using fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness. Enjoy with friends or family for a delightful summer treat!
