Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

These Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites are a refreshing and healthy treat perfect for warm days or a quick snack. Combining creamy Greek yogurt with a sweet and tangy blueberry swirl, they’re easy to make and fun to eat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, honey, and lemon juice over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes until the blueberries soften.
2. Step 2: If using cornstarch, dissolve it in a little water and stir into the blueberry mixture to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
3. Step 3: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth. Taste and add more honey or maple syrup if you’d like it sweeter.
4. Step 4: Spoon the yogurt into silicone molds or mini muffin tins, filling each about three-quarters full.
5. Step 5: Add a spoonful of the cooled blueberry compote on top of each yogurt portion. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect.
6. Step 6: Freeze the molds for at least 3 hours until the bites are solid.
7. Step 7: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Let them sit for 2–3 minutes before eating for the best texture.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; frozen blueberries may need a bit longer to cook down.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or another plant-based yogurt.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the yogurt for a warm spice note.
• If you don’t have cornstarch, you can skip it—the compote will just be a bit thinner.

Storage

Store the yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to enjoy, remove from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly before eating.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use other berries instead of blueberries?

Yes, you can substitute blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries. Just adjust the cooking time if needed to soften the berries.

What if I don’t have silicone molds?

You can use mini muffin tins lined with paper liners or any small container you have on hand. Just make sure the yogurt portions are easy to remove once frozen.

Yogurt Mixture

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Notes

• You can substitute maple syrup for honey to make this recipe vegan.
• Cornstarch is optional but helps thicken the compote for a better swirl.
• If you don’t have silicone molds, mini muffin tins work well—consider lining with paper liners.
• Adjust sweetness according to your taste, especially if using tart Greek yogurt.
• Letting the bites sit briefly after freezing enhances the creamy mouthfeel.
