Salted Caramel Almond Yogurt Clusters

Let me give you a heads-up—these Salted Caramel Almond Yogurt Clusters won’t last long in your freezer! Inspired by the decadent flavor of Salted Caramel Almond Ice Cream, but with a much healthier twist, these clusters are dairy-free and refined sugar-free. The rich caramel flavor comes from blended dates, making them a guilt-free treat you’ll want to indulge in over and over again.

I remember the first time I made these. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I was in the mood for something sweet but didn’t want to go all out on a dessert. I threw these together, and honestly, I was surprised at how quickly they disappeared from my freezer. Even my friends couldn’t get enough of them!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup yogurt of choice (I used dairy-free)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup cacao nibs
• 5-8 medjool dates, blended until smooth (Soak them in hot water for a few minutes first so they blend easily)
• Handful of chopped almonds
• Flaky salt
• Melted dark chocolate

How to Make These Delicious Clusters

1. Mixing the Base

In a bowl, I combined the yogurt, vanilla extract, cacao nibs, chopped almonds, and the smooth, blended dates. The dates give the mixture that perfect caramel flavor while keeping it healthy and refined sugar-free. Make sure everything is well mixed!

2. Scooping the Mixture

Next, I scooped the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. These little clusters are so easy to make, and they look super cute too!

3. Freezing the Clusters

I placed the baking sheet in the freezer for about an hour. This step is crucial to ensure that the clusters firm up nicely before adding the chocolate.

4. Adding the Chocolate

After the clusters were firm, I drizzled melted dark chocolate over each one. The combination of cold, creamy yogurt with rich dark chocolate is just heavenly!

5. Setting the Chocolate

Finally, I popped them back into the freezer for another 10-15 minutes until the chocolate set. Once they were ready, I couldn’t resist digging in.
