Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites (Printable)
Creamy Greek yogurt swirled with sweet blueberry compote, frozen into refreshing bite-sized treats perfect for healthy snacking.
# What You Need:
→ Blueberry Compote
01 - 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
02 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
03 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
→ Yogurt Mixture
04 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, optional
# How To Cook:
01 - Combine blueberries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries burst and mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey if using until smooth and well combined.
03 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or arrange a silicone mini muffin tray on the counter.
04 - Drop 1 tablespoon of yogurt mixture onto the prepared sheet or into each muffin cup. Spread gently to form an even circle.
05 - Place 1 teaspoon of cooled blueberry compote onto each yogurt mound. Use a toothpick or knife tip to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt, creating a marbled pattern.
06 - Transfer tray to freezer and chill for at least 2 hours or until bites are completely firm.
07 - Remove frozen bites from tray or peel parchment paper from the bottom. Transfer to an airtight container and keep frozen until serving. Let sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before eating for optimal texture.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These little bites satisfy ice cream cravings without any of the guilt
- You can make a whole batch in under twenty minutes of active time
02 -
- The compote must be completely cold before swirling, or it will melt the yogurt and you will lose the definition
- Letting the bites sit at room temperature for just two minutes makes them creamy instead of rock hard
03 -
- A mini cookie scoop makes portioning the yogurt so much faster and more uniform
- Work quickly once you start spooning the yogurt because it softens fast at room temperature
