Description

These Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites are a refreshing and healthy frozen snack perfect for warm days or anytime you want a cool treat. Made with creamy Greek yogurt and a homemade blueberry sauce, they offer a delightful balance of tart and sweet with natural ingredients. Easy to prepare and freeze, these bites are portable and perfect for a quick energy boost or a light dessert.


Ingredients

Scale

Blueberry Sauce

  • ½ cup fresh blueberries

Yogurt Base

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (if using plain yogurt)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Swirl: In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the blueberries for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Gently mash the blueberries to release their juices and create a thick sauce. Once done, remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  2. Mix the Yogurt Base: While the blueberry sauce is cooling, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup (if using) and vanilla extract (if using plain yogurt) in a bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Create the Swirl Effect: Spoon small amounts of the cooled blueberry sauce into the yogurt mixture and use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the sauce through the yogurt, creating a marbled effect without fully mixing it in.
  4. Shape and Freeze: Using a spoon or silicone molds, scoop bite-sized portions of the swirled yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or directly into molds. Place them in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  5. Serve and Store: Once the bites are fully frozen, transfer them to an airtight container and keep stored in the freezer. Enjoy them directly from the freezer as a refreshing and healthy frozen snack anytime.

Notes

  • You can use plain or vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt according to your preference.
  • Honey or maple syrup is optional and can be omitted to reduce sugar content.
  • Ensure the blueberry sauce is cooled completely before mixing with yogurt to prevent melting.
  • Silicone molds can make shaping the bites easier and more uniform but are not necessary.
  • Store the bites in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
  • Consume within 1 to 2 weeks for best quality.
