Ingredients
Blueberry Swirl
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Yogurt Base
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cook Blueberries: In a small saucepan, cook the blueberries over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until they soften and release their juices.
- Mash and Sweeten: Slightly mash the cooked blueberries to break them up, then stir in the honey or maple syrup. Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature.
- Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until smooth.
- Assemble Bites: Spoon the yogurt mixture evenly into a mini muffin tray or silicone mold.
- Add Blueberry Swirl: Drop a small spoonful of the cooled blueberry mixture on top of each yogurt portion.
- Create Swirls: Use a toothpick or small spoon to gently swirl the blueberry mixture into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect.
- Freeze: Place the tray or mold in the freezer and freeze the bites for 2 to 3 hours, or until completely firm.
- Serve: Once frozen, remove the bites from the molds and serve immediately as a refreshing snack.
Notes
- Store the yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
- You can substitute blueberries with strawberries or raspberries for variation.
