Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Small cookie scoop or tablespoon
- Freezer-safe container
Ingredients
For the Blueberry Swirl:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 –2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the Yogurt Base:
- 2 cups thick plain Greek yogurt
- 1 –2 tablespoons honey adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-Ins:
- Chia seeds
- Granola bits
- Mini white chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Blueberry Swirl
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, honey, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- The berries will burst and release their juices. The mixture should thicken slightly and turn a deep purple color. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Yogurt Base
- In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Step 3: Swirl the Blueberries
- Once the blueberry mixture is cool, gently fold a few spoonfuls into the yogurt. Don’t fully mix it in—you want visible swirls.
- That marbled effect is part of the charm.
Step 4: Portion the Bites
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a small scoop or spoon, drop dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the sheet. Leave a little space between each one.
Step 5: Freeze
- Place the tray in the freezer for 2–3 hours, or until completely firm.
Step 6: Store
- Transfer frozen bites to a freezer-safe container. Keep frozen until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Not cooling the blueberry mixture before swirling
- Overmixing and losing the swirl effect
- Using thin yogurt
- Forgetting parchment paper
