Ingredients
Scale
For the Yogurt Base:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Blueberry Swirl:
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
-
Prepare the Blueberry Swirl:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and water.
- Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
-
Make the Yogurt Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Assemble the Bites:
- Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Add a small spoonful of the blueberry mixture on top of each yogurt portion.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the blueberry sauce into the yogurt.
-
Freeze:
- Place the molds or tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 2–3 hours, or until fully set.
-
Serve:
- Once frozen, pop the bites out of the molds and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, stir in a tablespoon of coconut cream or almond butter into the yogurt mixture.
- Substitute blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or a mix for a different flavor.
- If you don’t have silicone molds, you can spread the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, swirl in the blueberry sauce, and freeze before breaking into bite-sized pieces.
