Description

These Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites are a refreshing, naturally sweet treat perfect for snacks or healthy desserts. Creamy Greek yogurt gets marbled with a bright blueberry compote, offering a beautiful visual appeal and a delicious balance of tangy and sweet in every bite. Ideal for kids and adults, they’re easy to prepare and make-ahead friendly—just pop them in the freezer and you’ll have a satisfying, wholesome snack anytime.

Ingredients

For the Blueberry Compote

  • 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening; mix with 1 tbsp water if using)

For the Yogurt Base

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended for creaminess)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Extra honey or maple syrup, to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Blueberry Compote: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries soften and begin to break down. If you’d like a thicker compote, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water, then stir it into the blueberry mixture during the last minute of simmering. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  2. Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Taste and, if you’d like a sweeter base, whisk in extra honey or maple syrup as desired.
  3. Fill the Molds: Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or a mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon if needed.
  4. Add and Swirl the Blueberry Compote: Place a small spoonful of the cooled blueberry compote on top of the yogurt in each mold. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt for a marbled, swirled effect.
  5. Freeze: Transfer the molds to the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until the yogurt bites are fully set and frozen solid.
  6. Unmold and Store: Once completely frozen, carefully pop the yogurt bites out of the molds. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to eat. For the best texture, let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries; no need to thaw frozen berries before simmering.
  • Silicone molds make removing the bites easier, but a mini muffin tin lined with paper liners works as well.
  • Try swapping blueberries for raspberries or strawberries for a fun flavor twist.
  • For extra creaminess, be sure to use full-fat Greek yogurt rather than low- or non-fat.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more honey or maple syrup to either the compote or the yogurt base.
