Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites (Printable Version)

Creamy Greek yogurt with sweet blueberry compote swirled into frozen bite-sized treats for a refreshing snack.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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, full-fat or low-fat
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

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 - In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey if using until smooth and well combined.
03 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or arrange a silicone mini muffin tray on a flat surface.
04 - Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet or into each muffin cup, spreading slightly to form a uniform 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 to freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm and solid throughout.
07 - Remove frozen bites from tray or peel off parchment paper. Store in an airtight container in the freezer. Let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving for optimal texture.

# Tips from hearthlykitchen:

01 -
  • The contrast between creamy tangy yogurt and sweet tart blueberry swirled together is absolutely addictive
  • They come together in minutes but feel like something special youd find at a fancy frozen yogurt shop
  • Having homemade snacks ready in the freezer makes healthy eating so much easier on busy days
02 -
  • The compote must be completely cooled before swirling, otherwise it will melt the yogurt and you will lose those pretty swirl patterns
  • Letting the bites sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before eating makes a huge difference in texture, so plan that tiny bit of patience
03 -
  • A silicone mini muffin tray gives the most uniform shape and makes removing the frozen bites incredibly easy with just a gentle push
  • Invest in good quality parchment paper if using a baking sheet, as cheaper versions tend to stick and make removal frustrating
