Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (can be store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (your choice for added crunch)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for a chocolatey touch)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (plus extra for garnish)

Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or almonds for extra flavor and texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of honey (or maple syrup), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are smoothly blended. This creamy mixture will be the foundation of your frozen clusters.

    Incorporate Salted Caramel: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of salted caramel sauce into the yogurt mixture. Be careful not to overmix; allow some caramel swirls to remain visible for an appealing marbled look and enhanced flavor.

      Add Mix-Ins: Introduce 1 cup of granola, 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips, and any optional 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to the yogurt-caramel blend. Use a gentle stirring motion to evenly distribute these ingredients without crushing the granola.

        Scoop into Molds: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to transfer heaping tablespoons of the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays. Pack each scoop gently to ensure that the clusters retain their shape once frozen.

          Freeze the Clusters: Place the filled molds in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

            Unmold and Garnish: When the clusters are fully frozen, carefully remove them from the molds. If they resist, let them sit at room temperature for about a minute to ease the unmolding process. Before serving, sprinkle a delicate pinch of sea salt on each cluster to elevate the flavor profile.

              Serve and Savor: Enjoy the frozen yogurt salted caramel clusters immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. These delightful treats are perfect for a refreshing snack at any time!
