Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup granola (a nutty blend works best)

1/4 cup assorted chopped nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Fresh fruits for garnish (recommendation: blueberries or strawberries)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and well incorporated.

    Taste the yogurt mixture and, if desired, adjust the sweetness by stirring in additional maple syrup, one tablespoon at a time, to fit your preference.

      Gently fold in the granola, chopped nuts, and mini chocolate chips (if you choose to include them) using a spatula, ensuring an even distribution without breaking the granola too much.

        Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy. Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, dollop the yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper, forming small clusters about the size of a golf ball.

          Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each cluster to elevate the flavor profile and enhance the overall taste experience.

            Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze for at least 2 to 4 hours or until they are solid throughout.

              Once fully frozen, carefully peel the clusters off the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container. These can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 weeks for optimal freshness.

                To serve, let the clusters sit at room temperature for about 2-3 minutes to soften slightly for easier eating. Garnish with fresh fruits as desired for a pop of color and added freshness.

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve these delightful clusters on a decorative plate or in a shallow bowl, topped with fresh blueberries or strawberries for a vibrant touch. Optionally, drizzle a little extra maple syrup over the top for added sweetness and visual appeal.
