Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Swirl: Gently cook fresh blueberries with honey or maple syrup and lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until the fruit softens and releases juices forming a luscious sauce. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Mix the Yogurt Base: In a separate bowl, combine plant-based yogurt with vanilla extract and natural gelling agent. Stir carefully until smooth and well blended, ensuring the yogurt sets properly when frozen.
- Combine and Swirl: Layer the yogurt mixture and cooled blueberry sauce into silicone molds or ice cube trays. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the two mixtures together, creating beautiful patterns without fully mixing.
- Freeze Until Set: Place molds in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours or until completely firm. Once set, pop out the bites and store them in an airtight container, ready to enjoy anytime.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen berries; frozen can be thawed and cooked down easily.
- Do not overmix the swirl to keep distinct patterns and flavor bursts.
- Silicone molds are best for easy removal and mess-free preparation.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less natural sweetener according to taste.
- Make in batches to have healthy snacks available all week long.
