Chocolate Covered Pomegranate Yogurt Clusters are the perfect winter-friendly healthy dessert. They’re no-bake, easy to make, and simple to customize - easily made vegan, dairy-free, or higher in protein with Greek yogurt. Thanks to antioxidant-rich pomegranate and dark chocolate, each bite delivers a boost of fiber and nutrients. Think healthy frozen yogurt bites with a juicy pop of pomegranate and a crisp chocolate shell - refreshing, satisfying, and delicious.
I love no bake desserts! For no bake desserts try my no bake tahini oatmeal bars or my pomegranate clusters.

Ingredients for healthy chocolate covered frozen yogurt bites
- pomegranate - This is the base for the cluster but any fruit can be used!
- yogurt - Regular or vegan yogurt can be used here. I used dairy free Cocojune and it came out great!
- vanilla - this rounds out the fruity pomegranate flavor.
- cashew butter - Feel free to sub this out for your favorite nut butter. I love cashew butter for its neutral taste.
- chocolate chips - I like dark chocolate but any technically works.
- coconut oil - coconut oil helps the chocolate to melt easier.
- flaky salt - an optional but recommended topping that elevates and balances the sweet flavors.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Substitutions
- cashew butter - can be subbed with any nut butter.
- yogurt - use vegan or regular yogurt here.
- coconut oil - you can use another oil like olive but coconut oil is prefered. DO NOT omit the oil because this will cause the chocolate to seize and create a whole mess.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Mix pomegranate, yogurt and cashew butter.
Freeze clusters.
Dip in chocolate and freeze again.
Serve.
Storage instructions
I recommend storing the clusters in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days because this gives them the soft ice cream like texture.
You can also freeze them for 3 months and thaw them out as you want to eat them.
Recipe Pro-Tips
Make sure your clusters are full frozen before dipping them in chocolate. Otherwise they will melt and create a whole mess.
If you want to up the protein content use greek yogurt as your yogurt.
Recipe FAQS
It depends what kind of yogurt you use. If you use dairy free yogurt then they are vegan!
Pomegranate is full of antioxidants and fiber. They also contain vitamins such as vitamin c, folate and potassium.

Chocolate Covered Pomegranate Yogurt Clusters
Equipment
Ingredients
- ~1 cup pomegranate seeds from 1 pomegranate, its okay if it's a little more or less than 1 cup
- ½ cup unsweetened thick yogurt - greek, skyr or coconut all work you can use vanilla yogurt if you want it sweeter
- ¼ cup cashew butter sub any nut butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or pieces

optional toppings

Instructions
- Add yogurt, vanilla and cashew butter to a bowl. Mix together until fully combined. Fold in pomegranate seeds.
- Spoon out mixture onto a sheet pan* lined with parchment paper (a plate or other flat surface also works) - forming 5-6 clusters. Freeze for 1-3 hours - until completely frozen through and solid. I have noticed that dairy yogurt takes longer to freeze than non dairy.
- Melt together chocolate and coconut oil. I melted mine for 3 30 second intervals in the microwave.
- Dunk each cluster in chocolate. Sprinkle over flaky salt if using. Freeze again for 10-15 minutes, until set.

So yummy and easy! Do you keep them stored in the freezer until ready to eat?
Kristi says
You can store them in the freezer if you want to keep them long term, however if you are planning to eat them within 1 week they can be stored in the fridge
