Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Swirl
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Yogurt Base
- 1 1/2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Swirl: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Prepare the Yogurt: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract if using to incorporate the flavor evenly.
- Create Yogurt Bites: Spoon small dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Add a small spoonful of the cooled blueberry mixture on top of each yogurt dollop.
- Swirl the Mixture: Use a toothpick or a knife to gently swirl the blueberry mixture into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect without fully mixing them together.
- Freeze the Bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 to 3 hours, until the yogurt bites are fully solid.
- Store and Serve: Once frozen, transfer the yogurt bites to an airtight container and keep stored in the freezer until ready to eat. Enjoy as a refreshing frozen snack.
Notes
- Use silicone molds for perfectly shaped and easy-to-remove yogurt bites.
- These bites can be made dairy-free by substituting plant-based yogurt such as coconut or almond yogurt.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup depending on the tartness of the blueberries.
