Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Base
- 1 cup plain, unsweetened plant-based yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Blueberry Swirl
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp natural sweetener (such as maple syrup or agave)
- 1 tsp lemon juice (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the blueberry swirl: In a small saucepan, gently heat fresh blueberries with a splash of lemon juice and natural sweetener until the berries soften and release their juices. Remove from heat and blend lightly to create a vibrant, slightly chunky puree.
- Mix the yogurt base: In a bowl, combine the plant-based yogurt with vanilla extract (natural) and the natural gelling agent. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Assemble the bites: Spoon a layer of yogurt mixture into mini silicone molds or an ice cube tray. Add a small dollop of the blueberry swirl on top. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the berry puree into the yogurt to create a marbled effect.
- Set and chill: Place the filled molds in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours or until fully set and firm to the touch. The natural gelling agent will give the yogurt bites a perfect, slightly firm consistency that melts in your mouth.
- Enjoy! Pop them out of the molds and enjoy your healthy, refreshing Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites anytime you need a delicious snack boost.
Notes
- Use full-fat plant-based yogurt for creamier bites that hold together well.
- Do not overblend the puree to keep some blueberry chunks for texture and visual appeal.
- Chill molds beforehand to help the yogurt set quickly and evenly.
- Adjust the swirl amount for flavor control: less swirl for cleaner taste, more swirl for intensified blueberry flavor.
- Store in airtight containers to keep bites fresh and prevent absorbing refrigerator odors.
