Description
Enjoy these refreshing Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites, a simple no-bake frozen treat combining creamy Greek yogurt with a sweet blueberry swirl. Perfect for a healthy snack or dessert that requires minimal prep and just a few ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Blueberry Puree
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
Instructions
- Prepare the blueberry puree: In a small saucepan, heat the blueberries over medium heat until they begin to soften and release their juice, about 3-5 minutes. Mash the berries with a spoon or use a blender for a smoother consistency. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds, if desired. Set the blueberry puree aside to cool.
- Mix the yogurt: In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth and creamy.
- Swirl in the blueberry puree: Gently swirl the cooled blueberry puree into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to fully mix it, as you want to keep the blueberry swirls visible.
- Scoop the yogurt bites: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the tray. Each dollop should be about 1 to 2 tablespoons in size.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer and allow the yogurt bites to freeze for at least 2-3 hours or until firm.
- Serve: Once the bites are frozen, serve immediately or transfer them to an airtight container to store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For a smoother blueberry swirl, blend the berry puree thoroughly before adding it to the yogurt.
- Use parchment paper on the tray to easily remove the frozen bites without sticking.
- You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones; just thaw them before cooking.
- If you prefer a sweeter treat, adjust the honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks for best taste and texture.
