Ingredients
For the Blueberry Compote
- ¾ cup ¾ cup (100g) fresh or frozen blueberries Use fresh or frozen blueberries.
- 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon lemon juice Adds a bright pop of flavor.
- 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon honey (optional) For extra sweetness, if desired.
- 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional) Adds texture and fiber.
For the Yogurt Base
- 1½ cups 1½ cups (370g) plain Greek yogurt Choose 2% or full-fat for extra creaminess.
- ½ teaspoon ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or erythritol for a keto-friendly version)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and optional honey. Let the berries cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until they soften and release their juices. Mash lightly with a spoon to achieve a jam-like consistency. Once thickened, remove from heat and mix in chia seeds if using. Allow the compote to cool completely.
Making the Yogurt Base
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Assembling the Bites
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into each cavity of a silicone mini muffin tray or ice cube tray. Add ½ teaspoon of the cooled blueberry compote on top of each yogurt portion. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt.
Freezing
- Place the tray flat in the freezer and allow the bites to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Serving & Storing
- Carefully remove the bites from the silicone molds and store in an airtight container in the freezer. Let them thaw slightly before serving.
Notes
For a creamier texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt. Adjust sweetness based on the tanginess of the yogurt. You can also experiment with different fruits like strawberries or raspberries.
