Ingredients

1½ cups (370g) plain Greek yogurt (choose 2% or full-fat for extra creaminess)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or erythritol for a keto-friendly version)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup (100g) fresh or frozen blueberries
1 teaspoon lemon juice (adds a bright pop of flavor)
1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for texture and fiber)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the blueberry compote by combining the blueberries, lemon juice, and optional honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the berries soften and release their juices. Mash lightly with a spoon to create a jam-like consistency.
Step 2: Remove the compote from heat and stir in chia seeds if using. Let the mixture cool completely to avoid melting the yogurt in the next step.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness to taste.
Step 4: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into each cavity of a silicone mini muffin tray or ice cube tray, filling about three-quarters full.
Step 5: 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, creating a marbled effect.
Step 6: Place the tray flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Step 7: Carefully remove the bites from the molds. If using a harder mold, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to ease unmolding.
Step 8: Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer. Thaw for 2–4 minutes before serving for the best creamy texture.

Tips & Variations

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer and creamier texture.
Substitute maple syrup or erythritol for honey to suit dietary preferences.
Add finely chopped nuts or shredded coconut on top before freezing for extra crunch.
Try other fruit compotes like raspberry or strawberry for variety.
For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup.

Storage

Keep the yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to enjoy, remove from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 2 to 4 minutes to soften slightly for the best creamy texture.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries for the compote?

Yes, frozen blueberries work well. Just thaw them slightly before cooking to help release their juices more quickly.

How do I prevent the yogurt from melting when adding the compote?

Make sure the blueberry compote has cooled completely before adding it to the yogurt. This prevents the yogurt from melting and keeps the texture firm once frozen.
