Ingredients
For the Blueberry Compote
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
For the Yogurt Base
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Extra honey or maple syrup, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Blueberry Compote: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the blueberries soften and release their juices. If you prefer a thicker compote, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and stir it in. Let the mixture simmer for another minute, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth. Taste, and adjust sweetness with extra honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Fill the Molds: Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or a mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about three-quarters of the way full.
- Swirl in the Blueberry Compote: Add a small spoonful of the cooled blueberry compote on top of each yogurt-filled cavity. Using a toothpick, gently swirl the compote into the yogurt to create a marbled effect.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until the bites are fully set and frozen.
- Unmold and Serve: Once frozen, remove the yogurt bites from the molds. Store in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving, let the bites sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw before making the compote.
- Silicone molds make unmolding easier, but mini muffin tins lined with parchment paper work as well.
- Swap blueberries for other berries like raspberries or blackberries if you like.
- For extra creaminess, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
- Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preferred sweetness.
