Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Compote
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)
- 1 tbsp water (to dissolve cornstarch, if using)
Yogurt Base
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Additional honey or maple syrup for sweetness, as desired
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Compote: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, honey, and lemon juice over medium heat. Simmer gently for 5 minutes until the blueberries soften and release their juices.
- Thicken the Compote (Optional): If using cornstarch, dissolve it in a tablespoon of water and stir into the blueberry mixture. Cook for another minute until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
- Mix Yogurt Base: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Fill Molds: Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or mini muffin tins, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Add Blueberry Swirl: Place a spoonful of the cooled blueberry compote on top of each yogurt portion. Using a toothpick, gently swirl the compote into the yogurt to create a beautiful marbled effect.
- Freeze: Transfer the molds to the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours or until solid.
- Serve and Store: Remove the frozen bites from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before eating for the best texture.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess.
- Cornstarch is optional but helps thicken the blueberry compote for easier swirling.
- Use silicone molds or mini muffin tins lined with paper cups for easy removal.
- These bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Feel free to substitute blueberries with other berries like raspberries or strawberries.
