Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Base
- 1 cup plant-based yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (natural)
Blueberry Swirl
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (natural)
- 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Swirl: Wash fresh blueberries and blend them into a smooth puree. Add fresh lemon juice and maple syrup (natural) to brighten the flavor. Cook the puree gently with the natural gelling agent until it thickens slightly, then set aside to cool.
- Mix the Yogurt Base: Stir plant-based yogurt with vanilla extract (natural) and a touch of maple syrup (natural) to add sweetness and enhance the creamy texture. This mixture will serve as the smooth base for the blueberry swirls.
- Combine and Layer: In small silicone molds or an ice cube tray, alternate spoonfuls of the yogurt base and blueberry puree. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect.
- Set the Bites: Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill for 2-3 hours or until firm. The natural gelling agent will help the bites hold their shape while remaining soft.
- Enjoy or Store: Remove the Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites from the molds and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Use ripe blueberries for the best sweetness and color.
- Do not over-swirl to keep distinct marbled layers.
- Chill thoroughly to allow bites to firm up properly.
- Use silicone molds for easy removal without damage.
- Adjust sweetness by tasting before setting.
