Servings: 14 cluster halves

Ingredients

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup cottage cheese low fat, blended
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate coating

  • 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • A pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Cover a chopping board with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine blueberries, pecans, cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  • Now form clusters from the mixture on the chopping board. Use about 2 tablespoons of mixture per cluster.
  • Pop into the freezer for 90 minutes. You want the clusters too harden up a little bit but not to completely freeze over as the inside should be soft.
  • Just before bringing the clusters out of the freezer, combine chocolate chips with coconut oil in a bowl. Pop into the microwave and heat up in 30s increments, mixing in between until the chocolate melts.
  • Take the clusters out of the freezer and dip them in chocolate. Place them back onto the chopping board and drizzle areas that don’t have chocolate on them with a spoon.
  • The chocolate will very quickly harden. Sprinkle them with sea salt.
  • Store away whole inside the fridge, and cut in half before serving.
