Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)
Blueberry Swirl
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Prepare the Blueberry Puree: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Optionally, mash the mixture slightly or pulse in a blender for a smoother puree. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Mix the Yogurt Base: In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. If you want a thicker consistency in the bites, mix in the optional cornstarch thoroughly.
- Layer and Swirl: Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray. Add small spoonfuls of the cooled blueberry puree on top of the yogurt. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the blueberry puree into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect.
- Freeze: Place the molds or tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Serve: Once frozen solid, pop the yogurt bites out of the molds and enjoy immediately or store them in a sealed container in the freezer for up to one month.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup for honey to make it vegan.
- Adding cornstarch is optional but helps keep the yogurt bites firmer after freezing.
- Use silicone molds or ice cube trays for easy removal.
- The bites can be stored in the freezer for up to one month.
- These bites are best eaten shortly after removing from the freezer to avoid too much melting.
