Blueberry Compote
- ¾ cup (100g) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for texture and fiber)
Yogurt Base
- 1½ cups (370g) plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat recommended)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or erythritol for keto version)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare the Blueberry Compote: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and optional honey. Cook for 5–6 minutes while stirring frequently until the berries soften and release their juices. Lightly mash with a spoon to create a jam-like consistency.
- Cool and Add Chia Seeds: Remove the compote from heat and stir in chia seeds, if using, which will help thicken the mixture as it cools. Allow it to cool completely to avoid melting the yogurt in the next step.
- Make the Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired for a more dessert-like flavor.
- Assemble the Bites: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into each cavity of a silicone mini muffin tray or ice cube tray, filling roughly ¾ full. Add ½ teaspoon of the cooled blueberry compote on top.
- Swirl the Compote: Using a toothpick, skewer, or knife tip, gently swirl the blueberry compote into the yogurt to create a marbled effect. Keep swirls light for an attractive two-toned appearance.
- Freeze: Place the tray flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites become firm and fully set.
- Serve and Store: Carefully remove the yogurt bites from the silicone molds. If using a harder mold, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to ease unmolding. Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving, allow them to thaw slightly for 2–4 minutes for the best creamy texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and richer flavor.
- The optional chia seeds add fiber and help thicken the compote, but you can omit them if preferred.
- Adjust sweeteners based on your taste and dietary preferences; erythritol can be used for a keto-friendly version.
- Using a silicone mini muffin tray helps with easy removal; if using harder trays, briefly warming helps unmold the bites.
- These bites are best enjoyed shortly after thawing for a creamy texture.
