Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Swirl
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Yogurt Base
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or non-fat, your preference)
- 1/4 cup honey, plus more for drizzling (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (Optional)
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- Granola
- Chopped nuts
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare Blueberry Swirl: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Mash gently with a fork. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Prepare Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
- Assemble Yogurt Bites: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon yogurt mixture into each liner, filling about halfway.
- Add Blueberry Swirl: Drop spoonfuls of the cooled blueberry swirl on top of the yogurt base in each liner.
- Create Swirls: Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the blueberry mixture into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining fresh blueberries over the top along with any optional toppings such as granola, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut as desired.
- Freeze: Carefully transfer the muffin tin to the freezer. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours or until the yogurt bites are completely solid.
- Serve: Remove the bites from the muffin liners and serve immediately. Drizzle with extra honey on top if you like additional sweetness.
- Store: Keep leftover yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks.
Notes
- You can use full-fat or non-fat Greek yogurt depending on your preference for creaminess or calorie content.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey and sugar according to your taste.
- Optional toppings like granola or nuts add a satisfying crunch and texture contrast.
- Make sure the blueberry swirl has completely cooled before adding it to the yogurt to prevent melting.
- If you don’t have a muffin tin, use any small freezer-safe container or silicone molds.
- Let the bites thaw a few minutes before eating if they are too hard.
