Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

These Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites are a refreshing and healthy treat perfect for hot days or a quick snack. Combining creamy Greek yogurt with a vibrant blueberry compote, they offer a delightful balance of sweetness and tartness in every bite.

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 and 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 allow to 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 prefer 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, creating a marbled effect.
6. Step 6: Freeze the molds for at least 3 hours or until the bites are solid.
7. Step 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 before eating for the best texture.

Tips & Variations

• For a thicker compote, be sure to use the cornstarch option, which helps prevent the blueberry mixture from being too runny.
• Try swapping blueberries for raspberries or chopped strawberries for a different fruity twist.
• Use flavored yogurt, like honey or vanilla Greek yogurt, to add extra depth without extra sweeteners.
• Silicone molds make it easier to pop out the frozen bites without sticking.

Storage

Store the frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to eat, let them thaw at room temperature for 2–3 minutes for a creamy, soft texture rather than frozen solid.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but regular yogurt is thinner and may not freeze as firmly. Greek yogurt’s thicker texture works best for forming solid bites.

Do I need to use cornstarch?

Cornstarch is optional but helps thicken the blueberry compote, preventing it from making the yogurt mixture too watery when frozen.

Blueberry Compote

• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)
• 1 tbsp water (for dissolving cornstarch, optional)

Yogurt Mixture

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Additional honey or maple syrup, to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the blueberry compote: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice. Simmer gently for about 5 minutes until the blueberries soften and begin to break down, creating a syrupy mixture.
2. Thicken the compote (optional): If a thicker compote is desired, dissolve the cornstarch in water, then stir it into the warm blueberry mixture. Continue cooking briefly until the compote thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
3. Prepare the yogurt base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Taste and add extra honey or maple syrup to sweeten if preferred.
4. Fill the molds: Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or mini muffin tins, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for swirling and freezing.
5. Add the blueberry swirl: Dollop a spoonful of the cooled blueberry compote on top of each yogurt-filled mold. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect.
6. Freeze the bites: Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until the bites are solidly frozen.
7. Serve and store: Carefully remove the frozen yogurt bites from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. For best texture, let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before eating.

Notes

• You can substitute maple syrup for honey to make this recipe vegan.
• If cornstarch is unavailable, you can skip thickening the compote, but it may be slightly runnier.
• Use silicone molds for easy removal of frozen bites.
• These yogurt bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
• Allowing the bites to thaw a couple minutes before eating prevents the yogurt from being too icy.
