Ingredients
For the Blueberry Compote
- ¾ cup ¾ cup fresh or frozen blueberries Fresh blueberries can be replaced with frozen.
- 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon lemon juice Adds a bright pop of flavor.
- 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional) For added sweetness if desired.
- 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional) For added texture and fiber.
For the Yogurt Base
- 1½ cups 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt Choose 2% or full-fat for a creamier texture.
- ½ teaspoon ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the flavor.
- 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon honey (or to taste) Adjust sweetness according to preference.
Instructions
Prepare the Blueberry Compote
- 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.
Make 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.
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 of the way.
- Add ½ teaspoon of the cooled blueberry compote on top of each yogurt portion. Use a toothpick, skewer, or the tip of a knife to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt.
Freeze
- Place the tray flat in the freezer and allow the bites to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Serve & Store
- Carefully remove the bites from the silicone molds and store in an airtight container in the freezer.
- Before serving, let them thaw slightly for 2–4 minutes to reach the perfect creamy consistency.
Notes
For extra compote, spoon over oatmeal the next day. Avoid stacking the tray on an uneven shelf while freezing.
