Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup slivered almonds, toasted

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for a chocolatey twist)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely blended and creamy, ensuring a smooth base for your frosty treat.

    Incorporate Raspberries: Carefully add the fresh raspberries to the yogurt mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold them in, making sure not to mash the berries too much. Aim for a mixture that retains some whole berry pieces for delightful texture in each bite.

      Add Almonds: Gently fold in the toasted slivered almonds, mixing until they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture. The almonds will add a wonderful crunch to your frozen treats.

        Shape the Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion out tablespoon-sized clusters of the yogurt mixture and drop them onto the parchment. Maintain a couple of inches of space between each cluster to allow for some expansion as they freeze.

          Sprinkle Cocoa (Optional): For a delicious chocolatey layer, lightly sift cocoa powder over each cluster before placing them in the freezer. This step is optional but adds an indulgent twist.

            Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for a minimum of 3 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Serve: Once frozen, carefully peel the clusters away from the parchment paper and place them in an airtight container. For a finishing touch, garnish with additional fresh raspberries. Serve these delightful treats straight from the freezer and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavors!
