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, optional)
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Additional honey or maple syrup to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Make the blueberry compote: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, honey, and lemon juice over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes until the blueberries soften and the mixture becomes syrupy.
- Thicken the compote (optional): If you want a thicker consistency, dissolve 1 tsp cornstarch in 1 tbsp water and stir it into the blueberry mixture. Continue cooking briefly until it thickens, then remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- Prepare the yogurt base: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract until smooth. Taste and add more honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
- Fill the molds: Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or mini muffin tins, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Add the 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 marbled effect.
- Freeze the bites: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until the yogurt bites are solidly frozen.
- Serve and store: Carefully remove the frozen yogurt 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 a thicker blueberry compote, the cornstarch step is recommended but optional.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier bites, or opt for a lower-fat version if desired.
- These bites are best enjoyed within 1 week of freezing for optimal flavor and texture.
- Silicone molds make it easier to remove yogurt bites once frozen.
