How to Make Blueberry Greek Yogurt Bites
Step 1: Prepare Your Tray
Line a large baking sheet or a flat plate with parchment paper or wax paper. Make sure the tray or plate you choose can fit flat inside your freezer.
Step 2: Mix the Yogurt Base
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the honey and vanilla are fully blended into the smooth yogurt.
Step 3: Add the Berries
Wash your fresh blueberries and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Gently fold the dry blueberries into the yogurt mixture until every single berry is well coated with the thick yogurt.
Step 4: Scoop the Bites
Use a small spoon to scoop up small clusters of three or four coated blueberries. Drop these small clusters onto your prepared parchment paper. Leave a little bit of space between each cluster so they do not freeze together into one giant lump.
Step 5: Freeze Until Solid
Place the tray flat into your freezer. Let the bites freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the yogurt is completely firm and solid to the touch.
Step 6: Store and Serve
Once they are completely frozen, peel the bites off the parchment paper. You can eat them immediately or transfer them into a freezer safe zip top bag for long term storage. Keep them in the freezer until the exact moment you want to eat them.
Important Recipe Notes
-
Dry the Fruit: Make sure your blueberries are 100% dry after washing them. If they are wet, the yogurt will slide right off the skin, and excess water will create icy crystals inside your bites.
-
Yogurt Choices: Whole milk or 2% Greek yogurt works best because the fat keeps the bites creamier. Non fat yogurt can sometimes freeze into a texture that is a bit too hard and icy.
-
Chocolate Twist: If you want a richer treat, you can melt some dark chocolate chips and drizzle it over the top of the yogurt bites right before you place them in the freezer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?
Fresh blueberries work best because they hold their shape. Frozen berries will bleed their juices into the yogurt as you mix them, turning the whole mixture purple, and they can make the bites soggy.
How long do these bites stay fresh in the freezer?
If you store them in an airtight freezer bag or container, they will stay fresh and taste great for up to 1 month.
Why are my yogurt bites too hard to bite into?
Greek yogurt freezes solid, so if they feel too hard right out of the freezer, just let them sit on your counter for 2 to 3 minutes before eating. They will soften up perfectly.
