🧾 Ingredients

For the Yogurt Base

  • 1½ cups (370g) plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat for creaminess)

  • 1 tbsp (15g) honey or maple syrup (or erythritol for keto)

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the Blueberry Swirl

  • ¾ cup (100g) fresh or frozen blueberries

  • 1 tsp lemon juice (brightens flavor)

  • 1 tsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

  • 1 tsp chia seeds (optional, adds texture + fiber)

🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation

✅ Step 1: Make the Blueberry Compote (Swirl)

Start by preparing your swirl. In a small saucepan, add your blueberries, lemon juice, and honey if using. Place the saucepan over medium heat.

Let it cook gently for about 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently. As the berries heat, they’ll soften and burst. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to mash them slightly for a jammy texture.

Once the mixture thickens (it should coat the back of a spoon), turn off the heat. Stir in chia seeds for a little boost of fiber and a “gel-like” swirl once frozen.

Set the compote aside and let it cool completely — this is key so it doesn’t melt the yogurt during assembly.

✅ Step 2: Mix the Yogurt Base

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey. Stir well until fully smooth and creamy.

👉 Tip: Taste the mixture. If your yogurt is extra tangy or you’re serving this as dessert, feel free to add an extra drizzle of sweetener.

✅ Step 3: Assemble the Bites

Take your silicone mini muffin tray (or ice cube tray). Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into each cavity, filling them about ¾ full.

Using a small spoon or dropper, add ½ teaspoon of your cooled blueberry compote on top of the yogurt in each mold.

Now the fun part — take a toothpick, skewer, or tip of a knife and gently swirl the compote into the yogurt to create a marbled effect. Don’t overmix — a gentle swirl gives that gorgeous two-tone look.

✅ Step 4: Freeze Until Solid

Carefully place your tray flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until bites are completely firm.

✅ Step 5: Unmold & Enjoy!

Once frozen, gently pop the bites out of the silicone mold. If you’re using a hard mold (like plastic), let it sit on the counter for 2–3 minutes to loosen.

Store the yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving, let them thaw slightly at room temperature for 2–4 minutes for best texture.
