Ingredients For the Yogurt Mixture
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
For the Filling
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup blueberry puree (optional for extra color and flavor)
For the Topping
- ¼ cup granola
- Extra fresh blueberries
- Lemon zest (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or use silicone muffin moulds for easy removal.
Step 2: Make the Yogurt Base
In a large bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Fold in the Blueberries
Gently fold most of the fresh blueberries into the yoghurt mixture. If using blueberry puree, lightly swirl it through the mixture without fully blending so beautiful purple ribbons remain.
Step 4: Fill the Molds
Divide the yoghurt mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 5: Add the Toppings
Top each yoghurt bite with a few extra blueberries and a light sprinkle of granola. Finish with a little lemon zest if desired.
Step 6: Freeze
Place the muffin pan into the freezer for 3–4 hours, or until the yoghurt bites are completely firm.
Step 7: Remove from the Molds
Once frozen, remove the bites from the muffin liners or silicone moulds. Let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before serving for the creamiest texture.
Step 8: Store
Transfer the frozen yoghurt bites to a freezer-safe airtight container. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 9: Serve
Enjoy directly from the freezer as a refreshing breakfast, healthy snack, or light dessert. Garnish with extra blueberries or a sprinkle of granola just before serving if desired.
Tips & Notes
- Full-fat Greek yoghurt produces the creamiest texture after freezing.
- Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen blueberries can also be used after thawing and draining.
- Replace blueberries with strawberries, raspberries, peaches, or mango for different flavour variations.
- Add chia seeds, chopped almonds, walnuts, or coconut flakes for extra crunch.
- Store frozen yoghurt bites in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
Q&A
Q: Can I use flavoured Greek yoghurt?
Yes. Vanilla or blueberry Greek yoghurt works well, but reduce or omit the honey since flavoured yoghurt is already sweetened.
Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
Absolutely. Substitute your favourite thick dairy-free yoghurt alternative.
Q: Do they need to stay frozen?
Yes. Keep them in the freezer and allow them to soften for a couple of minutes before eating for the best texture.
