Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla for flavor)

1/2 cup smooth almond butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (modify to your taste preference)

10 Medjool dates, pitted and finely chopped

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

1/4 cup sliced almonds

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional for a flavor boost)

Fresh fruit or nuts for garnish (optional but recommended)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    In a mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, almond butter, and honey (or maple syrup). Using a spatula or whisk, blend the ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and well incorporated.

      Mix in Dates and Add-Ins:

        Carefully fold in the chopped Medjool dates, dark chocolate chips (or cacao nibs), sliced almonds, and optional sea salt. Use a gentle hand to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed but take care not to overmix.

          Scoop the Mixture:

            With a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Slightly flatten each scoop for uniformity, which will help them freeze evenly.

              Freeze the Clusters:

                Place the baking sheet into the freezer and allow the clusters to freeze for approximately 2-3 hours, or until they are fully firm.

                  Store and Serve:

                    Once frozen solid, transfer the clusters into an airtight container or a ziplock bag. Store them in the freezer, where they can be enjoyed at any time, remaining fresh for up to one month. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh fruit or nuts right before serving.

                      Enjoy!:

                        When ready to savor, remove a few clusters from the freezer and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 1-2 minutes. This brief wait will soften them just enough to showcase their delightful creamy texture.
