Ingredients
  

For the blueberry compote
  • 1/2 cup blueberries Fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (optional) For thicker compote
  • 1 tbsp water (to dissolve cornstarch, optional)
For the yogurt base
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt Can substitute with regular yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Can substitute with almond extract for a variation
  • Additional honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, honey, and lemon juice over medium heat. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the blueberries soften and begin to release their juices.
  2. If you want a thicker compote, dissolve 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water and stir it into the simmering blueberry mixture. Cook for another 1-2 minutes while stirring until the compote thickens. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the vanilla extract and stir until smooth. Taste and add more honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter yogurt base.
  4. Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or mini muffin tins, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Spoon a small amount of the cooled blueberry compote on top of each yogurt-filled mold. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
  6. Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours until the yogurt bites are solid.
  7. Once frozen, remove the bites from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes at room temperature before enjoying for the best texture.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen blueberries work well too. Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup based on your sweetness preference. Experiment with different flavors by adding a pinch of cinnamon or swapping the blueberries for other fruits like strawberries or raspberries. For added crunch, mix in different fruits or add a layer of granola.
