Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites (Print version)
Creamy Greek yogurt swirled with sweet blueberry compote, frozen into refreshing bite-sized treats perfect for healthy snacking.
# What you'll need:
→ Blueberry Compote
01 - 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
02 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
03 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
→ Yogurt Mixture
04 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
# How to make it:
01 - Combine blueberries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries burst and mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
02 - Whisk Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and optional honey in a medium bowl until completely smooth and uniform in texture.
03 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or arrange a silicone mini muffin tray on the counter.
04 - Drop 1 tablespoon of yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet or into each muffin cup, spreading gently to form an even circle.
05 - Place 1 teaspoon of cooled blueberry compote onto each yogurt mound. Use a toothpick or small knife to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt, creating a marbled pattern.
06 - Transfer the baking sheet or muffin tray to the freezer. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until completely firm and solid throughout.
07 - Remove frozen bites from the tray or peel away from parchment paper. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer until ready to serve. Let sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before eating for optimal texture.

- Letting them sit for 2 to 3 minutes before eating makes all the difference between rock hard and perfectly creamy
03 -
- Set your timer for the exact 2 to 3 minute soften time or you will forget and end up with soup
- A tiny pinch of salt in the yogurt mixture makes all the flavors sing louder
