Ingredients
  

For the blueberry compote
  • 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen Fresh is best, but frozen works in a pinch.
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup Use honey if you prefer a sweeter taste.
  • 1 tsp lemon juice Acts as a flavor booster.
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch Optional; thickens the mixture.
For the yogurt mixture
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, full-fat For a creamy texture.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Optional but recommended.

Method
 

Cooking the Blueberry Compote
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, honey, and lemon juice over medium heat. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the blueberries are soft.
  2. Optional: dissolve the cornstarch in a bit of water before adding it to the mixture. Stir in and remove from heat, then let it cool completely.
Preparing the Yogurt Mixture
  1. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth and free of lumps. Adjust sweetness with more honey or maple syrup if desired.
Assembling the Bites
  1. Spoon the yogurt into silicone molds or mini muffin tins, filling each about three-quarters full.
  2. Top each yogurt portion with a spoonful of cooled blueberry compote and use a toothpick to swirl gently for a marbled effect.
  3. Pop the molds in the freezer for at least 3 hours until solid.
  4. Remove the frozen bites from the molds and store in an airtight container in the freezer. Let sit for 2-3 minutes before eating for the best texture.

Notes

Using silicone molds makes removal easier. Feel free to experiment with different fruit toppings like strawberries or raspberries. These bites are great for road trips if stored in an insulated lunch bag.
