Seal and Freeze
Cover the filled cavities with more melted chocolate and freeze for 3-4 hours until firm.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by preparing the glaze. Break the dark, milk, or white chocolate into small chunks and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave using short 10-second bursts, stirring constantly every 10 seconds. Once melted, add 25ml of sunflower oil and mix until well combined. Set the glaze aside to cool slightly.
-
Using a spoon, carefully coat the cavities of a silicone half-sphere mould with the chocolate glaze. Spread the chocolate evenly, applying it in 2-3 layers if necessary. Place the mould in the fridge between each layer to allow the chocolate to set. Ensure the chocolate has a thick consistency, making it easier to cover the cavities.
-
While the chocolate sets, dice the strawberries into small pieces. In a bowl, combine the diced strawberries with the plain yogurt.
-
Fill the cavities of the mould with the strawberry and yogurt mixture, pressing it firmly into place.
-
Cover the filled cavities with more melted chocolate and place the mould into the freezer for 3-4 hours, allowing the treats to freeze completely.
-
Transfer the remaining melted chocolate into a piping bag. If needed, reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds to achieve a smooth consistency.
-
Remove the semi-spheres from the mould and decorate them with the melted chocolate, sprinkles, and any other desired toppings.
-
Serve and enjoy your Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Gems, delightful bite-sized treats that combine the creaminess of yogurt, the sweetness of strawberries, and the decadence of chocolate.

Note
Ensure the silicone half-sphere mould is clean and dry before using to achieve smooth and well-shaped Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Gems.
You can use either dark, milk, or white chocolate based on your preference. Each will provide a different flavour profile to the gems.
Be careful not to overheat the chocolate when melting it in the microwave. Use short bursts of heating and stir frequently to prevent burning.
The sunflower oil helps to achieve a smoother texture in the chocolate glaze. If preferred, you can use a different neutral-flavoured oil like vegetable oil instead.
Adjust the sweetness of the strawberry and yogurt mixture by adding honey or any other desired sweetener according to your taste preferences.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings such as crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or dried fruit to add variety and texture to your Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Gems.
It's important to allow enough time for the gems to freeze completely to ensure they have a firm texture when serving.
Store the Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Gems in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Thaw for a few minutes before serving if they become too hard.
Enjoy these delightful treats on a hot day or whenever you're in need of a refreshing and sweet frozen dessert!
